(Original )Information
What do you like best about BackupSheep?

I've been using BackupSheep for several months now and I'm extremely impressed with its ease of use and reliability. The software is intuitive and makes scheduling automatic backups for my servers, websites and databases a breeze. The software is very stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupSheep solving and how is that benefiting you?

I added an additional security layer and another off-site backup solution to my client's websites. I feel more secure and now have three different solutions in addition to BackupSheep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BackupSheep?

I can use it and receive notifications of a backup failure. All my websites from a central backup dashboard. It is incredibly integrated with the updraftplus plugin. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackupSheep?

I would like it if one could already restore backups and migrate websites from the backupsheep dashboard, but in all honesty it is just a convenience. The system is already fully functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupSheep solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use backupsheep as a second layer backup, so I can send backup to a secure storage I own and then also sync those backup with my NAS. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BackupSheep?

I have sites hosted on several servers inexpensive plans that do not auto backup. I use updraft plus but I needed a second backup and backup sheep is exactly what I needed, ftp login lets me backup the whole account and store it on the cloud. Plus I get notifications if it fails and when it goes through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackupSheep?

Getting to learn the interface was the only difficult part, but that literally takes about 10 minutes to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BackupSheep?

This product does one thing and i does it well. If you have Updraft plus, it allows you to backup your site off server, like google drive. It did save me as the whole server got wiped. But my backup was safe in GDrive.

Dont expect it to be a full solution replacing Updraft, its complimentary, and extra step of guarantee that your backup wont be lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackupSheep?

Not a full solution. Needs Updraft but its fine as you can use the free tier of Updraft and it works perfectly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupSheep solving and how is that benefiting you?

If your WP server crahses your Updraft backups get lost as they are stored on site. WIth backupsheep I put the backups in GDrive so they are safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BackupSheep?

BackupSheep made changes in the plans sold to AppSumo users, but they have now reversed that change so my review needs to be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackupSheep?

Thank you for listening to the buyers of the deals. I will get back to using the app and will see how it goes here out. I do believe the backup program is a good one, but the reason I had purchased was because of the unique offering of this particular plan. I appreciate the quick turnaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupSheep solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bilal Ahmed of BackupSheep

Hi Michelle. This decision was reversed and there will be no changes to any of the AppSumo plans. Clearly, it was a wrong decision and after we received feedback from users we understood that storage was the only significant factor for many users.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Please share updated feedback about your BackupSheep experience so far if you can.

What do you like best about BackupSheep?

The concept is good. Backups are agnostic of the application, be it WP or a custom application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BackupSheep?

I do not write reviews but I am so frustrated at this moment that I have to so that people are aware of what they are getting into.

My backups are failing since the 2nd of August. Today, it's the 16th.

They were working fine before that since the time I had set it up(months).

There are no error messages(proof https://d.pr/i/1dQtMH), nothing in the log(proof https://d.pr/i/63IS48)

The backups started failing since the time they moved to the EU region completely and deprecated multi-region support.

I did contact support and they said things like the backups should be complete in 6 hours else they will fail. This is not true(proof https://d.pr/i/J2fiRm). A backup was completed even when it took more than 6 hours to complete. And that too after the backups started failing which is even weirder.

The founder doesn't understand the importance of backups and why it is so crucial for them to work reliably.

I am frustrated as I have clients to whom I have "promised" daily backups.

I have whitelisted the IP and tried countless other things.

Apart from failing at what it's supposed to do(backups), the founder told me months before that the feature of having backups of different websites(nodes) inside their folder would be launched very soon(a week or a few days, don't remember exactly). I have even stopped asking. The founder was very active in support when the AppSumo deal was ongoing. But it seems like he doesn't care much. The support takes forever to reply. The replies do not always help.

At this stage, I am not sure what should I do. One thing I am sure about is that they do not care much about backup failures and what reliability means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupSheep solving and how is that benefiting you?

Actually, they are creating problems for me at this stage as their service has stopped working and I have to urgently set up an alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bilal Ahmed of BackupSheep

Hi. Sorry about the issues you experienced during and after our AppSumo campaign. We are a small team and our AppSumo campaign brought us thousands of new users.

Going from hundreds of users to thousands in a few weeks was a very challenging task for us. Since then we have spent a lot of time improving the quality of service than pushing new features.

One of the important changes we have done is that our scheduling is managed by AWS. The overall quality of our infrastructure is a lot better and we have learned a lot of lessons with this growth.

If you give us a try, then I'm sure you will see the improvements. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please share updated feedback about your BackupSheep experience so far if you can.
