 * I waited 9 months to review **WPVivid Backup** because I wanted to write an honest(
   and hopefully useful) review of this product.
 * During this time I discovered **WPVivid Backup**‘s strengths and weaknesses after
   putting it through its paces and was pleasantly surprised by the developers’ 
   lightning fast responses to my questions (thank you, Nicholas!), and their genuine
   desire to help solve any issues I encountered by digging deeper into them.
 * Here’s what I love about **WPVivid Backup**:
    - It “just works”. I don’t have to think about how to use it or worry if I’m
      doing the right thing.
    - I especially like the restore messages and progress indicator.
 * Here’s what I didn’t like about **WPVivid Backup**:
    - Uploading a backup to a live site takes longer than I’d like. TBH, this is
      isn’t a reflection about **WPVivid Backup** itself, but more on how PHP can
      sometimes be less performant than desired.
      Thankfully, there’s a simple workaroud:
      I manually upload my backup files from my Local dev site to my live WP site’s**/
      wp-content/wpvividbackups** folder using CPanel’s File Manager and then simply
      rescan for backups using **WPVivid Backup**‘s convenient “**Scan uploaded 
      backup or received files**” button.This reduced the time to upload about 2.5GB
      of content from a couple of minutes to 15 seconds.
 * **Summary**:
   I tried several WP backup solutions and kept coming back to **WPVivid
   Backup**. IMHO, this is a solid and easy to use product that quite simply gets
   the job done, is easy to use and is very robust.

 * Hi there! Nicholas here—thank you so much for the shout-out and for such a thoughtful,
   long-term review. It was a pleasure helping you out with those questions!
 * We really appreciate you putting the plugin through its paces for 9 months before
   sharing your thoughts. It’s rewarding to hear that the ‘Scan’ feature and the
   progress indicators are making your workflow easier. Also, thank you for sharing
   that **CPanel’s File Manager workaround**—it’s a great tip for users dealing 
   with large sites and PHP limitations.
 * Knowing that WPvivid is your ‘go-to’ choice means the world to our team. If you
   ever need anything else, you know where to find me!
