SimpleBackups Reviews & Product Details

The fact that it lives up to its name "Simple". I qualify myself as an excellent developer, but that doesn't make me a good system manager. This is a talent I need to outsource. My cloud provider is my day-to-day "talent", and SimpleBackups" are my backup "talent". They're the specialists, they do one thing, but do it well, very well indeed.

Nothing really. I'm just happy with the service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the friendly support staff, the price point, and the ease of setup with SimpleBackups. The initial setup was super straightforward, just clicking around with a few clicks, and interacting with third-party services. It’s a turnkey solution that gives me peace of mind with scheduled backups and notifications if anything goes wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have somewhat strict limitations to force on higher tier, but still within the realm of undestandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backups aren't hard, but they are annoying to do right. Using some Tier-1 cloud providers solutions (like RDS) are great because they can do backups easily. But, the trade off as vendor lock-in. Vendor locking is something we're greatly trying to avoid, so simplebackups ended up being a great solution to easily solve the backup problem in a vendor agnostic way!

I appreciate SimpleBackups the most for how effortlessly it takes care of backups for both servers and external services like GitHub. The platform’s user-friendly interface makes scheduling and managing backups straightforward, and the automated approach saves me time and worry. Plus, the ability to monitor everything from a single dashboard adds significant convenience, ensuring that all my critical data is protected without constant manual intervention.

While SimpleBackups works efficiently overall, there are a couple of drawbacks with the Essential plan. First, you can’t choose a specific time for the backups to start, which limits control and can be inconvenient if you need a precise schedule. Second, the backups don’t all begin simultaneously but instead run in sequence, which can be frustrating if you want to streamline or parallelize the process.

Only one backup allowed on free plan, but hey, it's the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Easypanel to manage our applications and services, but it struggled with the size of our databases, which exceed 1GB. After searching for a solution, we found a tool that provided fast, hassle-free backups for large databases, allowing us to use credentials instead of just relying on SSH access. This solution completely resolved our issue and streamlined our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SimpleBackups offers robust and reliable solutions for managing backups, one notable drawback is the lack of competitive pricing plans for clients in Latin America. This limitation can be a significant concern for businesses in the region, especially those looking for cost-effective backup solutions. Adjusting their pricing structure to better accommodate Latin American clients would make SimpleBackups a more attractive option for businesses in this market.

If there's something to be mentioned It is expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was an easy UI where we can place the backups for our complete infrastructure like Database, Snapshots, Droplets (DigitalOcean). It was easy to set up and onboard the components in DigitalOcean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest disadvantage is that the free plan only allows us to choose a single component, such as a droplet, snapshot, database, or disc, for backup. If you want to add additional tasks, you must purchase the premium plan, which is somewhat more expensive. For example, having a $10 droplet and paying $29 for backup does not make sense. If you have more articles, it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
