Biggest opportunity: “backup”, “cron” and “rotation” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →7.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 1.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 285 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

This was exactly the plugin I needed to upload my WordPress backups to Nextcloud. It was easy to setup and it is not overloaded with unnecessary functions, it does one thing and does it very well. It has reliably and consistently uploaded my backups to Nextcloud for months. Sign-up with some Nextcloud hosting with a different hosting company to the one which hosts your website, and you have easy, off-site backups of your website; backups which you control and can also be downloaded to your own computer. Thank you for this plug-in.
