 * I am using UpdraftPlus (free version) for years now, currently on a **WP 6.9**
   and, even if there is a warning about being untested on this version, **it works
   flawless**.
   As a matter of fact, it saved my behind 3 or 4 times in the last 
   month, because I was able to use the full backups to fully restore a wrecked 
   website due to some “optimizers” which are really praised (I have no idea why).
   Retention works perfectly, restoring is absolutely a child’s play.
 * **Rule no. 1:** before any change in code or layout, TAKE A FULL BACKUP and lock
   it, so it can only be deleted manualy, otherwise, the incrementals will overwrite
   it at some point.
 * Thanks a million, guys, for this amazing plugin.
   I really hope it will stay this
   way.
