Worked to restore deleted pages and plugins

  • I backed up my website, then purposefully deleted a page (and permanently deleted from trash) and removed a different plugin. I then restored the site using BackupGuard and found a perfect restoration of what I removed. Page and plugin were back and all worked again.

    I have not tried migration yet so I can’t comment on that.

    Also, it would be great if Restore would restore the version of WordPress that it was on when the backup ran. I ran the backup before updating WordPress, then updated WordPress to 5.6, then ran the restore hoping it would restore the older WP version, but it didn’t. 5.6 was still installed.

    I think it’s the same for updated versions of plugins. If a plugin gets updated after the backup, it doesn’t seem to restore the old version of the plugin. If a plugin crashes your site, you may not be able to fix that with a restore.

    Otherwise, this is a super easy and super fast plugin that does the job. Will make 5 stars if after more testing there are more successes.
