User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for its simplicity, ease of use, and reliable performance. It effectively backs up websites, including multiple ones, to various storage options like Dropbox and AWS S3. Excellent support, detailed tutorials, and flexibility in backup settings further enhance its appeal. However, the primary drawback is the lack of a restore function in the free version, which forces users to purchase the Pro version if they need to restore data. Some users have reported occasional bugs, errors with specific storage integrations like S3, and issues with conflicting plugins. Others feel misled about restore capabilities, deeming it a significant limitation.

I support a small website for my daughter and BackWPup has been a reliable tool for creating periodic backups. When I had a question about an error message I got a response back quickly that solved the problem on the first try. You can’t ask for better support than that. Great tool, definitely recommend.

Not much to add. Discovered this plugin when looking for something to replace a paid for plugin that increased in price significantly without improving. Absolutely perfect for my needs.

FAQ

My backup jobs don’t seem to run as scheduled.

Yuk! It says: “ERROR: No destination correctly defined for backup!”

A backup job has started, but nothing seems to be happening—not even when I restart it manually.

I get this error message: The HTTP response test get a error “Connection time-out”

I get a fatal error: Can not create folder: […]/wp-content/backwpup-[…]-logs in […]/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-job.php …

When I edit a job the Files tab loads forever.

I generated a list of my installed plugins, but it’s hard to read.

My web host notified me BackWPup was causing an inacceptable server load!

Can I cancel a running backup job via FTP?

Can I move the temp directory to a different location?

What do those placeholders in file names stand for?
