• Usually when I leave a review for a plugin, I write and explain all the pros and cons as well as ideas for improvements. There is no such thing here.

    In the beginning, it is important to go through all the details in the settings. It’s as if you persistently want the GPS to take you to an address, but you “don’t have time” to enter the address. And then face the mistakes. This happened to me a few days ago when I quickly started a backup without going through all the items in the settings. A message appeared that an undefined error had occurred.

    This is like a Rolls Royce. It is important that you enter the settings, the plugin works independently.

    The plugin works in a way that is more than my expectations. This is the second line of “defense” for your website. You can restore everything if something goes wrong. I first started a manual backup and I can admit that I like what I see in the “zip” archive. This is an exact clone of my website. That’s exactly what I want.

    After seeing how it works I set it to automatic backup, at night time when I expect the least traffic to the website. Instead of checking what, when and how it was done, I get notifications by email. Great!

    Hopefully I won’t need to migrate so soon. But for backup/restore I think this is a complete hit. From now on this is one of my favorites that will go on every one of my websites.

    What can be improved here? I do not know. Probably nothing. Everything works as it should. Clean and simple navigation. There are no intrusive advertisements and calls to purchase the Premium version. I will not say that the plugin is the simplest because it is not. But it is one of the most reliable. That’s for sure.

    There is no limit to the size of the website. I hope this plugin will remain free forever and no restrictions will be imposed.

    I have no reason to look for another backup/restore/migrate plugin. I’m glad I gave this plugin a chance. What I got in return is immeasurable.

    Raw and unfinished

    After detailed testing, this plugin did not turn out to be good. The first backup always succeeds, every subsequent one failed. The website passes all checks. After uninstallation and reinstallation, the plugin always works according to the same pattern: the first backup always succeeds, everything after that fails.

    Due to some error on www.ads-software.com I can’t edit my review. I can only write a supplement, which I am doing now.

    The Total Upkeep plugin is raw and unfinished.

    Hi @vipteam,

    We appreciate your honest feedback no matter what it may be. I have a theory. Your issue could be some web hosting limitation preventing your web server from producing additional backups.

    Total Upkeep makes a log every time you create a backup, so that’s going to be the place we want to check first.

    Navigate to Total Upkeep > Tools > Logs and look for your most recent log. It will have a name like archive-XXXXXXXX.log. If you can copy that and paste it here, we’ll be able to get some more information about what went wrong.

    You can use a site like?https://gist.github.com/?or?https://pastebin.com/?to create and post a link to your log data into this thread.

    I’m sorry you’re dealing with this but we’re more than happy to help you get to the bottom of it.
