Two weeks ago, we released a new feature that opened the doors to partial database backups by allowing you to download a database backup for only a specific network site in a WordPress multisite.
Today, we’re happy to announce that we’re following that up with something that will allow you even more granularity while downloading database backups.
Specifying the tables you need to download
You can now choose the specific tables you want to download. This works for both WordPress single site and multisite, on VIP.
This not only gives you a higher level of control over your data for more targeted usage like analysis, testing, and launch, it can also save you a lot of time.
To access the new controls, click on the “Configure Download” button. Selecting the “Specific Tables” option will allow you to specify the database table names that you need in your backup copy in the input box that will appear.
Learn more about downloading specific tables from database backups in our documentation.
We’d love to know what you think about this feature; please get in touch!
Customers using VaultPress
Downloading database backups via the VIP Dashboard now provides a great deal of flexibility. You can choose to download the entire database, all the tables relating to one network site in a multisite, or a list of specific tables.
We will be releasing further feature improvements in the near future to make working with your data even more convenient, particularly for customers using our VIP Local Development Environment.We encourage you to try these features, and let us know if it meets your needs.
