MAMP PRO (macOS) Documentation

Sites > Site > Transfer > Cloud

Note: To use the cloud features, you must first select a cloud provider. To do this, use the “Cloud” panel in the Settings.

Sites can be backed up in the cloud and restored from there. MAMP PRO saves both your site folder and your database data. Your data for each individual site is stored in a single zip file in the cloud. It is not necessary for you to install the software of your chosen cloud provider to use this feature. All you need to do is log in to your cloud account via the MAMP PRO interface.

If you are using one or more databases for your selected site and you want to transfer them to the cloud as well, these databases need to be associated with the site. You can do this in the Databases tab.

• Cloud provider
  Here you can see the cloud provider you have selected.

  • Choose…
    Clicking this button will take you directly to the Cloud Settings where you can select your cloud provider.

• Last saved to <cloud provider>
  Here you can see the date and time when you last saved your data to the cloud.

• Last loaded from <cloud provider>
  Displays the date and time when you last transferred data from the cloud to your local site.

• Used <cloud provider> space
  Here you can see how much space your sites’s data is using in the cloud.

• Current activity
  As soon as an action of the cloud functionality is running, its status is displayed in this area.

• Resolve Name Change
  If you have the same site on two Macs and exchange data via the cloud, you should be able to change the name of the site. If you do this, the ZIP file in the cloud will be renamed as well. When you change the name of the site on the first Mac, you will be notified of the change on the second Mac. You can either change the name of the ZIP file in the cloud to match the site name, or change the name of the site to match the name in the cloud.

• Delete from Cloud
  Clicking this button will delete all data from the selected site from the cloud. The cloud data will be lost on all computers using it. Files can only be recovered using your cloud provider’s versioning capabilities. Local data will remain unchanged.

• Load
  Clicking this button will download the ZIP file containing the data (files, folders, databases) of the selected site from the cloud. This may take some time depending on the size of the file. It will then be unzipped. If the data is encrypted, it will be decrypted during the unpacking process. The data on the selected site will then be replaced with the data downloaded from the cloud.

  Note that this process cannot be undone. To be on the safe side, you should have a recent backup before loading data from the cloud.

• Save
  Clicking this button will zip the data (files, folders, databases) of the selected site. If you have specified that encryption should be used in the Cloud settings, the data will be encrypted when the ZIP file is created and the file will have the extension “.encryptedzip”. The created ZIP file is then uploaded to the cloud. This may take some time depending on the size of the file.
