To Backuply Team
The plugin is excellent BUT, if i selected the location of the backup to be Google Drive as example, make sure to remove the local files after the upload was successful, because what is the point to be able to select a location if locally the files are occupying space. Please understand and come with an update regarding this....

I made a mistake and deleting my website
I was testing backuply and made a dowload of my website on a zipfile. I had to reinstall wordpress and backuply was still one of my plugins. so luckily i was able to upload the zip file i made previously and it restored my website. backuply was a real lifesaver.

Useful and it works
I have used Backuply on several small sites created with Elementor and it works like a champ so far. I even was able to save myself from a system failure with it.
