pCloud WP Backup

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 · 95% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   After updating to version 2.0, the pCloud WP Backup plugin functions excellently! The backup process is seamless, and it has improved my site’s reliability significantly. Highly recommend giving it another try if you’ve had issues before.

   Never experienced something like that. Luckily we got a free trial. We started to use pcloud for saving backups in combination with the WordPress plugin. Pcloud is worse than not even working at all. 8 times out of ten it is not working at all. And the ninth time it providse corrupted files which look totally normal at first. If you rely on that backup years of work will be wasted. Import has never worked at all without problems (even though some were minor problems). The retention of only some backups also doesn’t work. It keeps all files untouched even though set different. Use everything else. Not pcloud!

   I need this plugin as I have a pCloud subscription and lots of storage. But unfortunately the plugin is still very rough and without basic features. If you develop it quickly, I would be very happy to use it and leave a high rating.

   Plugin is at very first stages, lots of things missing to make it a decent solution. Backups don’t work and no development/updates for it. Looks abandoned.

   This is a great idea, but for big sites with larger pdf files, it is trying to zip the entire site and simply eats up memory then times out. <gwmw style=”display:none;”></gwmw> I have used updraftsplus backup and it splits larger sites into multiple files for download. Here is what ends up in my error log after pcloud app times out. PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 69632 bytes) in /wp-content/plugins/pcloud-wp-backup/Pcloud/Classes/ZipFile/Util/class-filesutil.php on line 134, referer: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp2pcloud_settings<gwmw style=”display:none;”></gwmw>

   Normalerweise “0” Stern weil es ja nicht funktioniert. Am liebsten “-1” Stern weil man seine Lebenszeit damit verbringt den Fehler vergeblich bei sich selber zu finden, grausam…
