 * Hi
    If I deactivate ( not deleting) will the Backups stay on the server.
 * So that I can activate the plugin and still can download the Backups?
 * If I delete the plugin, the Backups will be deleted as well, right?

 * Hey [@enkirch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enkirch/),
 * Deactivating the plugin will not delete any backup files. If you goto Duplicator
   > Settings you can change how the playing behaves when you uninstall it.
 * Hope that helps~
