Good for backups not for restore
-
The backup functionality works well. Restore functionality requires the paid plug-in. The reason I am giving this plug-in a three-star rating is that the paid plug-in BackWPup-Pro is advertised as if the restore is easy to perform – if needed. In fact, it says: single click restore. This is very far from the truth. In case you do need to restore your website you will need to spend considerable time and effort. A restore will require downloading your restore zip archives using FTP then uploading it to the plug-in. You will also need to obtain information about your database details by accessing a php file and entering that into the plug-in. All in all, it is not a straightforward process and it is misleading to suggest that a restore is just a single click away. This plug-in is great to create backups but not great for restoring your website.
