Not perfect, but certainly a decent backup plugin. However, over the last year, UpDraft has caused several security incidents on my 50+ sites. Each has cost tens of hours to clean the sites. I can write that off as &#8220;part of the business&#8221;. However, yesterday&#8217;s breach, and more importantly, how they responded to it, is absolutely NOT &#8220;part of the business&#8221;. UpDraft&#8217;s security is nonexistent, not managed, and it just happens if it happens. Thousands of sites were compromised, including my own, and I&#8217;m never using this plugin again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19049599","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19049599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19049599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19049695,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19049599\/revisions\/19049695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19049599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
