What placeholders can I use in archive names and what do they mean?
BackWPup archive name has several rules, and you can use these rules to get your desired archive file name. For example, you can create a name for the archive of a job, which can consist of characters and placeholders. Here is a list of available placeholders and their meaning:
- %d = Day of month, two digits with leading zero
- %j = Day of month, without leading zero
- %m = Month number, with leading zero
- %n = Month number, without leading zero
- %Y = year, four digits
- %y = year, two digits
- %a = lowercase ante meridiem (am) and post meridiem (pm)
- %A = uppercase ante meridiem (AM) and post meridiem (PM)
- %B = Swatch Internet Time
- %g = Hour in 12 hour format, without leading zero
- %G = Hour in 24 hour format, without leading zero
- %h = Hour in 12 hour format, with leading zero
- %H = Hour in 24 hour format, with leading zero
- %i = Minute, two digits, with leading zero
- %s = Second, two digits, with leading zero
The placeholders allow you to create individual file names for the backup files.
Example: backwpup_611506_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%i-%s creates, if the job runs on 17th June of 2016 at 13:11:10, the archive with the name backwpup_611506_2016-06-17_13-11-10.zip.
