    Version 5 is a terrible confusing mess. It looks like you copied UpdraftPlus – and that was a very bad choice as their UI is bad.

    For most of my sites I have two custom jobs – one backing up files to S3 and the other backing up the DB to S3. The Next Scheduled Backup does not show the DB backup. The Files backup does not indicate where the backup is going.

    The Backups History does not say what is in each backup!

    And why are you loading the Jost font? The change from the rest of the WP admin area is jarring.

    Hi,

    Indeed we noticed the same thing, the new interface is not intuitive at all.

    The old interface was much simpler. Why change it?

    In the new interface it is not even possible to rename the tasks. Or we did not find it because the interface is not intuitive.

    So on all of our sites we remain for the moment on version 4.1.7.

    We hope that you will correct this because I think that we are not the only ones to be lost with this new interface as the author of this subject testifies.

    Hoping that things improve otherwise we will be obliged to find an alternative to your plugin.

    Hi,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. The update in version 5 was designed to simplify the backup process, but we understand how it may feel restrictive for long-time users with custom workflows.

    We are actively collecting feedback to refine the experience and address concerns. Your input is valuable in helping us improve future updates.

    Best regards.
