Everest Backup – WordPress Cloud Backup, Migration, Restore & Cloning Plugin

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 · 86% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I was having a problem with the plug-in not working so contacted support. Very responsive and the team (in Nepal) was able to diagnose the problem as a browser add-on blocking the plugin. Backups and restores are now working great!

   I use Everest forms both free and premium versions across many websites and they all work very well and I like all the features and the ability to export entries to csv file. I recently ran into an issue and I turned to Sanju in support and all it took late in the evening was one ticket with a short description of the issue and the next morning it was fixed and back up and running. That is why you pay for support because when you need it … they have your back. Keep up the good work Everest. Thanks again Sanju.

   I’ve been using the Everest Backup Plugin for WordPress, and it’s been incredibly helpful. One of the standout features of the Everest Backup Plugin is its simplicity. Setting up regular backups of my website has never been easier. I easily set up automatic backups to regularly each month, as that is all I need. The flexibility offered by this plugin is truly remarkable. The Everest Backup Plugin lets me back up my entire website, specific files, or just the database. You get to choose the backup methods you use most often. I go for the full backup. Another aspect that I appreciate is the reliability of the backups. I’ve tested the restoration process multiple times, and each time, it worked flawlessly. Being able to quickly restore my website if anything goes wrong gives me great peace of mind. The plugin works with different storage options like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Amazon S3, making it more convenient. I can choose the storage option that best suits my needs, or my clients needs. My clients can pick the easiest backup and storage option, and I can back up an extra file for them in case they lose their original. The support provided by the Everest Backup Plugin team is also worth mentioning. Whenever I have a question or problem, their knowledgeable support team quickly helps me. I have even been able to talk to the founder and CEO, Prabin. The Everest Backup Plugin is a dependable and easy-to-use backup solution for WordPress websites. It’s an essential tool for any website owner serious about safeguarding their data. Highly recommended! By the way, I have been applying and personally using WordPress backups for 20 years. I used to have to do it manually. A ton of time has been saved and the hassles removed. It simply works out of the digital box. Just add your preferred Everest backup plugins of choice and start the process of backing up or restoring your WordPress instance. Thank you, Prabin Jha and your team for creating a reliable and safe backup solution. To your success! This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by sblinnin.

   I first tried Everest Backup after experiencing a few migration and recovery failures with another plugin. Everest succeeded where the other plugin failed, so I switched to Everest. I also use the paid version of Everest. It’s been worth the money to me. Free or paid, backups run quickly. Logging is robust. If you have a paid version, you get a lot of flexibility in cloud options, scheduling, and other neat stuff. Support is a 10 of 10. The team is very responsive, capable, and friendly. The team iterates quickly. Everest is great. 👍

   Initially, the plugin works smoothly, but then it gets stuck on a perpetual uploading loop. After contacting the company, they were very friendly, but nothing had happened after weeks. When they offered help, I gave them access, and that was the last I heard from them.There are still issues with the plugin, and it’s hard to tell if it is working or just showing progress without results.The sad part is that they no longer respond to messages. I regret installing this Plugin.
