Could be a backup game-changer, but not yet

  • I’ve just come across the pCloud plugin which has got potential to be a great find. However, it’s still pretty patchy for now, and backups fail as often as they succeed; in fact they fail more often than they succeed. Since there’s no proper documentation there’s not much to go on as to why they fail, or what needs to be done to improve results. And the plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time (3 months at the time of writing – this is a review of version 1.0.2) so pCloud don’t seem to be paying much attention to this plugin, even though they give a good profile in their blog.

    On the plus side it’s very easy to set up and when they work the backups are ready in minutes.

    Once the backing up itself is fixed two other things are required for this to be a major backup option, namely incremental backups and setting a limit for keeping only a specific number of backups on the pCloud drive.

    It’s got potential, but it’s not there yet…
