All I wanted was to do database backups and I build versions of my site. Darwin saved me when I had to revert to one of those earlier structures( I was building custom content types in POD) and the content migration tool I used screwed up of all PODs! I wasn’t expecting PODs to be so breakable – but thank goodness I was able to click the restore links on my backups until i found the one with the pre-migration POD setup. One thing that would make this plugin nicer is if we could Name the version – or add a note – but other wise if people take a little time to try it out – they will see this is the most straightforward backup tool on Wordpress right now – and not secretly hitting you up for the PRO paid version. Good work! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1d6cb692afb4b187762493841da96e35744e7bca497996d5d8925486366f4d26? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[doesn’t do anything on my wp](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-do-anything-on-my-wp/)󠁿 [shadess](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shadess/) 4 Am Màrt 2017 8 replies doesn’t do anything on my wp ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/331de41c5d262b6c94df196ce8c19f92bcfe703621342050a45b38789162c39a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Gracias Funciona Muy Bien…¡¡¡](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gracias-funciona-muy-bien/)󠁿 [Jaime Rojas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jaime-rojas/) 2 Am Màrt 2017 1 reply Amigo gracias por este desarrollo, hace lo que dice, y ahorra una gran cantidad de tiempo.

They work. They are also somewhat finicky when it comes down to restoring or migrating. But, indeed, they do work. However, Darwin is pure genius. Simple. Reliable. Easy to set and forget. Aleksandr is working on off-server storage of the backups to AWS as I understand it and that is the only“ feature” missing from this plugin. Even so, currently you can get the backup link emailed to you, copy it to the clipboard,or download the backup from the admin end of WordPress. You can also download the backup via ftp and store it in your favorite off-site cloud. So, you have options until the off-site storage feature is complete. To top it all off, IT REALLY IS FREE! ALL FEATURES! No paying for the extras. As to support, I have not experienced support as professional, thorough and prompt as Aleksandr provides. There are several plugin developers providing great support, but very few of those are as complete, timely, and helpful as Aleksandr. He communicates! Even if he doesn’t have an immediate answer he will tell you so and when you can expect it. Aleksandr and Darwin Backup are the true cream of the crop. I am an independent Artist painting in oils. I developed my own site with WordPress and I have recieved NO compensation for what I wrote here. You can trust it to be true and written from personal experience. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e4fa9a1cefa24815274f3cfc8920ac71be3b84af3f35c052fd49efacc02fc557? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Brilliant and so easy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brilliant-and-so-easy/)󠁿 [LordDunvegan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lorddunvegan/) 25 An t-Samhain 2016 1 reply Thank you Alex for a brilliant solution to the backup issue.
