Works Perfectly After Update!
by uomiguel·1 year ago

After updating to version 2.0, the pCloud WP Backup plugin functions excellently! The backup process is seamless, and it has improved my site’s reliability significantly. Highly recommend giving it another try if you’ve had issues before.

Avoid at all costs
by TJ96·1 year ago

Never experienced something like that. Luckily we got a free trial.

We started to use pcloud for saving backups in combination with the WordPress plugin. Pcloud is worse than not even working at all. 8 times out of ten it is not working at all. And the ninth time it providse corrupted files which look totally normal at first. If you rely on that backup years of work will be wasted.

Import has never worked at all without problems (even though some were minor problems).

The retention of only some backups also doesn’t work. It keeps all files untouched even though set different.

Use everything else. Not pcloud!

It will be of great help

I need this plugin as I have a pCloud subscription and lots of storage. But unfortunately the plugin is still very rough and without basic features. If you develop it quickly, I would be very happy to use it and leave a high rating.

I tryed… You can make it work, dont quit!

Start backup at 2024-03-23 10:56:56
2024-03-23 10:56:56 – Starting Database Backup
2024-03-23 10:59:11 – Database Backup Finished
2024-03-23 10:59:13 – Starting with creating ZIP archive, please wait…

Please try adding FTP option, I think you will resolve most of the problems or server issues.

Backups fail, no setting for backup retention
by alexio·2 years ago·1 reply

Plugin is at very first stages, lots of things missing to make it a decent solution. Backups don’t work and no development/updates for it. Looks abandoned.
