Local 10 is out now with built-in backups.
If you’re new to backups, try it out from the new Backups tab on any of your sites.
If you’re an existing Cloud Backups add-on user, you’ll need to migrate your backups before you see them in Local 10’s new backups sections.
Migrate your old backups today
If you used the old Cloud Backups add-on, migrate your backups to see them in Local 10’s new backups tab:
- Upgrade to Local 10, or download Local on a new machine.
- Install or update the Cloud Backups add-on to version 2.2 or higher. You’ll see an update on the Add-ons tab if you have an old version:
- Make sure you are logged into Local for the migration (choose “log in” from the person icon in the top-left). Visit any of your existing sites, go to Tools → Cloud Backups, and click the “Migrate backups” prompt. This will migrate all of your backups, not just those for the site you’re viewing now.
- Remove the Cloud Backups add-on when prompted at the end of the migration process.
- After Local restarts, log in to your Dropbox or Google Drive accounts directly at Local → Settings → Connected Accounts.
- Find a full list of your backups on the Connect page, or in the Backups tab on individual sites.
Why migrate?
Local 10 makes backups a core feature:
- Backups are built into Local, no add-on required.
- Local connects and talks directly to your Cloud Provider and stores backup data there, no Local account or server needed.
- New options that were missing from the old Cloud Backups add-on, like ‘download zip’ and ‘delete’.
- Includes a new “Backups” view on the Connect tab to see all your backups in one place.
- Lets you share backups between machines by connecting both machines to the same Dropbox or Google Drive account.
- Optional custom password for each site’s backups.
