readme.txt at What Do Users Think is quoting years old reviews which are not meant for version 5.x of BackWPup.
This is misleading information.
BackWPup 5.0.5
]]>I’m trying to store my backups via FTP. Unfortunately the passive mode is not working here, but disabling it, doesn’t work either. The setting gets restored to passive again.
Edit: Even creating a new FTP connection always actives the passive mode
]]>The 5.x update changed everything.
Usability, stability, release testing, everything went down the drain.
Since sticking with 4.1.7 forever isn’t a long-term option, we will move on to another plugin.

]]>At first, I assumed some issue at my end and started to try and look for reasons.
Eventually, when I realized that perhaps restoring and older version of my KB web site might help, I realized that the problem might be an update to my themes.
That brought me back to your ‘Shipyard’ web site and theme.
Every time I restore the theme, I can search the data in my KB and get results; when I restore/update the theme, all searches end in failure to find anything related to the search, even when my search term is identical to what I used in an older version.
There are other issues I now have to resolve related to this ‘theme’, but I will defer them for now. When the search function failed, I may well have made changes, but unless we can sort out just what is going on with the new updates, I will wait and see ….
]]>The update cannot be installed because your site is unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: xmlrpc.php
And I don’t know how to fix that. In the past I’ve gotten the same message with WordPress auto-updates and have been able to proceed with manual updates, but I’d like to know a fix.
