Plans


Before installing the PG Backups add-on, it is important to understand the plans offered and identify which one is the best for your application.

Currently, the add-on provides three different plans; all of them are free and the main difference is the period of data retention.

The Plus plan is recommended if you want to generate backups manually or in automated routines. This plan isn't recommended for new users as the responsibility for creating backups is yours. The Auto – One Week Retention and Auto – One Month Retention plans will create automated backups weekly or monthly, and you don't need do anything in order to make it happen.

In the following table you can compare the plans offered:
