When managing multiple websites under a single Google Drive account, organization is key. WPvivid Backup Pro allows you to define a Custom Parent Folder in the root of your Google Drive, as well as a Unique Subfolder for each specific website.
This hierarchical structure ensures that backups for different domains—such as site-a.com and site-b.com—are kept separate, making it easy to distinguish and manage your data.
Path Example:
- 1.
.../wpvividbackuppro/site_a_com/ - 2.
.../wpvividbackuppro/site_b_com/
