Not reliable, and I have really tried
I honestly have tried with this plugin -- I have a lifetime license and I won't be using it anymore. I used to have an Updraft license and it simply worked, WPivid has so many quirks and workarounds that it makes you feel like you are working for the plugin, not the other way around. I tried to restore a (non-critical) backup on my local machine and it has been futile. If this had been an emergency, I would've had to rely on the hoster as this backup (cloud and local) have been literally impossible to restore. I have been using WordPress for 10+ years plus, I am happy to troubleshoot anything but I must admit I have given up with this. It will back up things, but don't wait for disaster to try and recover....I would not rely on production sites for this, I'm going back to Updraft.

Good support.
Nicholas Tsengel was very helpful and knowledgeable with WPvivid Backup. He clearly explained the process, helped me resolve the issue efficiently, and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. Highly recommended!

The free version (especially nice for charities) works great.

Staging and backup control
Its possible to make staging site quite easily but controlling live and staging site is really complicated. Also there is no function to remove the staging site when you dont need it any more. Also migrating the staging site did not bring the new media files, they had to be manually added each. I tried this WPvivid by the help of chatgpt and just barely got my job done after several manual corrections.
