I am a little confused about the following setting: backup with uploads include uploads in scheduled backups. Disabling this will only backup the database.
So if I have separate buckets for upload and backup, should I check this or not? I wasn’t sure if this would somehow try to store my uploads in the backup bucket…?
By default backups do not include uploads stored on S3 as it’s usually a waste of bandwidth a disk space. You need to enable the hidden include_s3_uploads_in_backups setting in order to change this behavior.
But if I understand your question correctly you don’t want your backups to contain uploads stored on S3, so you don’t have to change any settings.
