BackUpWordPress

Verwende das kostenfreie Plugin seit vielen Jahren und bin sehr zufrieden
Einfach zu bedienen und praktisch in der Anwendung – für viele kleine und einfache Websites sehr gut geeignet

Well, on July 15th, the day came for me after 18 years of SysAdmin. I went to delete a subdirectory off of a website called “home” and added a preceding slash to make it “/home” and POOF, just like that, there went the entire home directory including all the local backups. NO FEAR! I thought. Those get emailed offsite once a week. NOPE. WordPress had errors running the Backup due to THE PLUGIN NOT BEING MAINTAINED OR CURRENT and I lost it all. All the way back to last November.

I am now on Hour 50 of this fiasco and this PLUGIN is no longer viable. Only now, JUST now, since July 15th, did I finallly get this client’s site back and this was my first action.

Left 2 stars because of years of faithful use and did not want to dilute from this important message.

For a while worked well, as in scheduled back up took place regularly, but now that hasn’t happened in more than a month. I’ve (knock on wood) never had to restore a backed-up copy, so haven’t tested any back-up produced. Now it won’t even produce a manual back up. There is a lot of ‘secret’ knowledge to using WordPress, I find.

I gave this plugin 5 stars 4 months ago because it was perfect for low-resource hosting – simple and lightweight. Sadly, I must now report critical issues:

[19-Jul-2025 13:28:31 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property HM\BackUpWordPress\Scheduled_Backup::$status is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/class-scheduled-backup.php on line 92

This error explains why backups only work randomly (~1 in 5 attempts):

• On PHP 7.4: Flawless
• On PHP 8.4: Silent failures (no dashboard errors – only visible in DEBUG mode)

Critical Concerns:

1. 1+ year without updates (last version: July 2023)
2. Obsolete code: Uses dynamic properties deprecated since PHP 8.2
3. Zero feedback: Fails silently without admin notifications

Proven Fix Suggestion:
Developers could resolve this quickly by:
php
// In class-scheduled-backup.php ~line 92:
private $status; // Declare property BEFORE assignment

Final Verdict:

PHP ≤7.4 users: Still works great!
PHP 8.2+ users: Seek alternatives until fixed

Hope these technical details help revive this gem! I’ll happily return to 5★ after compatibility updates.

Urgente: Fallos con PHP 8.4 + 1+ año sin actualizar (¡Tiene solución!)

Hace 4 meses di 5 estrellas porque era *perfecto para hosting de bajos recursos*: simple y liviano. Lamentablemente, debo reportar problemas críticos:

**Fallo técnico confirmado (debug.log):**

[19-Jul-2025 13:28:31 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property HM\BackUpWordPress\Scheduled_Backup::$status is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/class-scheduled-backup.php on line 92

Este error explica por qué los backups funcionan aleatoriamente (~1 de cada 5 intentos):
– En PHP 7.4: Funciona perfecto
– En PHP 8.4: Fallos silenciosos (sin errores visibles ¡salvo en modo DEBUG!)

**Preocupaciones graves:**
1. **1+ año sin actualizar** (última versión: julio 2023)
2. **Código obsoleto**: Usa propiedades dinámicas obsoletas desde PHP 8.2
3. **Cero retroalimentación**: Falla sin notificar en el panel

**Solución técnica propuesta:**
Los desarrolladores podrían solucionarlo fácilmente con:

php
// En class-scheduled-backup.php ~línea 92:
private $status; // Declarar la propiedad ANTES de asignarla

Conclusión:

Usuarios con PHP ≤7.4: ¡Sigue siendo excelente!
Usuarios con PHP 8.2+: Busquen alternativas hasta que lo corrijan

¡Ojalá estos detalles técnicos ayuden a reactivar este gran plugin! Volveré a dar 5★ cuando actualicen la compatibilidad.
