I tried Backuply for 3 times in the pas month since it came for free packed with Softaculous installation offer, I have about 10 plugins and 5 themes installed where 3 are twenties. First time, I wanted to backup both the db and the files but it it did not complete the backup and got stuck at 67%, second time I left it overnight and next day it did the same, it came very fast to 67% compared to the amount of hours it took to fail. Today, I did the backup separately, and it did backup the db but got stuck again at 67% to backup the files, looks like 67% is a stop point in the animation screen and has nothing to do with percentage of the backup job. However there is an hilarious strategy of the marketing team to sell cloud backup space, they are so shameless that you see insistent banners, about 3 at the same time, in the top with 100% width and 2 more smaller banners in the right side column, every time, several times, that says "TROUBLE FREE CLOUD STORAGE, BUY IT NOW", this certainly means you will get in trouble if you do not order their cloud services. Part of this strategy has a malicious premeditated action where the backup directory set by default does not exist, and was never created in the previous backup attempts, even for the db that was successful, maybe it is a programmed trick to fail backups and sell trouble free cloud backup storage. "This app is programmed to fail", for sure. So, I am deactivating and deleting it right now and will not try again. Note: I did not have trouble backing up with other plugin I just installed, nor with cPanel backup tool. I am NOT a competitor, it is what the Backuply's marketing and financial sharks' teams might say in the most authentic American persecution complex to justify their sales strategy failure.
