Why do I get many files(parts) after a backup is complete?
By default, our backup plugin splits a backup to multiple parts(200MB for each) to increase backup success rate, especially for websites with shared web hosting.
However, you do have the option to finally get a single backup file by changing the following WPvivid plugin settings,
In Advanced Settings
- Set ‘Compress files every’ to 0 MB
- Uncheck the option ‘Enable optimization mode for web hosting/shared hosting’
In General Settings
- Check the option ‘Merge all the backup files into single package’
However, please note that the above settings are only recommended for sites with sufficient server resources.

It totally depends on your definition of ‘large’, we’ve tested up to 10 GB database without any issues (on VPS).

Does the plugin support Local by Flywheel?

Why don't you support using dot in the remote storage path and file name?
That is mainly to be compatible with Windows, as Windows uses dot as the extension identifier, it does not allow multiple dots in it’s file systems. File/Folder names containing multiple dots, for example, test.yourdomain.com can cause unexpected problems in Windows.
