Worst Developer, Broke the plugin to make more money

    This plugin was working flawlessly till the developers updated it and made most important free features as paid.
    They also broke the plugin where you were able to upload large files but now it allows you to upload 2MB by default.

    I don’t trust such developers who force us to pay suddenly by breaking something that was good. Better check for other plugins.

    We have a different concept for the backups.
    Ideally, backups should not be stored on the server. We received many requests about improving the backups feature and thus decided to make it a premium feature so we can support its development.

    @yaniiliev No dear developer, you made an ecosystem using free features that made it unusable in the free version so people should buy the paid version.

    Few issues I noticed, I think this was all well planned –
    1) you made the separate plugin as file import (i have faced this on few sites)
    2) you have now disabled the file import limit constant earlier it was able to import files up to 512MB without touching server max import/upload size. You also have disabled the backup feature because with that we were able to upload the file from cpanel as now server allows only small files upload. My host refuses to change setting for me. The only option is to buy the addon. So this is now a useless plugin for me.

    I will rather buy a paid plugin of other developers but not this anymore.
