Backuply – Backup, Restore, Migrate and Clone

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 72% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Most reviewers still praise Backuply for reliability and support, but the newest reviews report backups stalling partway through and a site that worked fine months ago no longer completing.

   The plugin is excellent BUT, if i selected the location of the backup to be Google Drive as example, make sure to remove the local files after the upload was successful, because what is the point to be able to select a location if locally the files are occupying space. Please understand and come with an update regarding this….

   I was testing backuply and made a dowload of my website on a zipfile. I had to reinstall wordpress and backuply was still one of my plugins. so luckily i was able to upload the zip file i made previously and it restored my website. backuply was a real lifesaver.

   I have used Backuply on several small sites created with Elementor and it works like a champ so far. I even was able to save myself from a system failure with it.

   This is a great tool to have. One nice feature is the notification to remind you to backup your website! This topic was modified 4 months, 1 week ago by jsanchezbaqa.
