When using Wasabi as a remote storage destination with WPvivid Backup Pro, you can specify a custom folder name to organize your backup files within your Wasabi bucket. This feature helps you keep backups structured and easy to manage, especially when storing backups for multiple sites or environments in the same bucket.
By defining a custom backup folder name, you control where WPvivid uploads your backup archives in the Wasabi storage hierarchy.
