A big thanks goes to UpdraftPlus which is a WordPress plugin I used to set up daily backups that went to my Google Drive account. The last backup was over a year ago taken from my hold VPS provider. A lot of life changes have happened since then. The restoration seems to have gone really well, I gave it a days worth of backup files, it advised about an old PHP package I was using back then which is good to know. I let it do its thing and everything seems intact, the restoration only took about 60 seconds. Thankfully my old User account was also backed up in Bitwarden.

I’m going to keep using Updraft for WordPress backups 🙂

It’s time to update some plugins now! 🙂
