 * I can’t understand how you can mess up a good plugin like this, its UI was very
   simple and easy before, now it’s more complicated, it doesn’t work as it should,
   remember that just because it uses a more modern framework doesn’t mean it’s 
   more functional. Almost nothing works in version 5 and WordPress even crashes
   sometimes.

 * Hi [@racmanuel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/racmanuel/) ,
 * We’re sorry that the latest update hasn’t met your expectations. We completely
   understand how frustrating it can be when something that used to work smoothly
   now feels complicated or unreliable.
 * The changes to the UI were intended to simplify the experience for new users,
   but we appreciate that this may not have been the best approach for our existing
   users.
   We’re actively working to improve the new version by adding missing options
   and ensuring it functions as expected.
 * In the meantime, you can switch back to version 4.1.7 by downloading it from 
   [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/advanced/). This will restore the
   simplicity and functionality you’re accustomed to while we address the current
   issues.
 * Thank you for sticking with us as we work to make improvements.
 * The BackWPup Team
