SCAM!!! DO NOT INSTALL Hi @vladabrasch would you mind elaborating on why my plugin is a scam? I have provided the community plugin for free with documentation and support on my website, https://www.wpbackitup.com , for over a decade. I’ve spent countless hours coding, documenting, translating, providing free email support, etc. Like many other free plugins, I offer a premium version to cover some of my costs for support, software tools, etc., but purchasing it is not required. The free plugin will back up everything that the premium does. If you don’t like the functionality or have found other free plugins you like better, I certainly understand. If you have suggestions on how I can improve, please share them, but saying it’s a scam isn’t very helpful to others in the community. Thanks, and looking forward to your response. Chris Hi Chris, Is it free? I wouldn’t say that. Let me explain. Is it free to Download plugin, yes. Is it free to make a Backup, yes. Is it free to Restore the Backup, NO NO NO. SO WHAT’S THE POINT OF HAVING THIS PLUGIN INSTALLED FOR FREE? Btw there are a ton of truly free Backup/Restore plugins, but yours is not one of them. The Free and Premium features are clearly listed in the plugin’s description, and yes, the restore is only included in the premium. Thanks for the clarification, @vladabrasch , and I’m glad you found another plugin that is working for you.
