Biggest opportunity: “backup”, “migrate” and “restore” 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 →7.9%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 25.2K 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 1 release 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 |

| qnap your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| backup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Error 1: it does not delete the qwp file it creates, in which everything is packed. Error 2: it is not certain that you have downloaded everything, because the dimensions are often not correct compared to the real size, even if you compress. Error 3: Related to the previous error, we will never know if you made a good save because you cannot restore the save. It’s a funny solution, a backup plugin with which you can’t restore the saved content later… So what’s this for?

Very misleading when taking the backup. You have the option to backup everything, including DB. When checking successful backup file size its not even close to what suppose to be. On top of that, restore fails without giving any clue as to the reason.

I (try to) use it to backup my client’s websites. For the majority it doesn’t work, it fails without any clue about the reason of the failure. And for the worst part sometimes the backup supposedly succeed , but in reality the backup is empty. This is really bad, because you think to have a working backup but in reality you have nothing in your hands. At this stage definitely it should not be used by any professional or serious company
