 * Up to version 5, the plugin was logical to use, multifunctional and usable.
   All
   these properties have been removed with version 5.

 * Hi [@thebenst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thebenst/) ,
 * We’re sorry to hear that version 5 hasn’t met your expectations. We understand
   that the functionality and usability of the previous version were key reasons
   why you relied on BackWPup, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption this
   update has caused.
 * The new UI was designed to streamline the backup process, but we acknowledge 
   that we need to improve usability from the ground up, along with restoring essential
   functionalities. We’re committed to achieving these improvements with releases
   in the very short term.
 * In the meantime, if you’d prefer to revert to version 4.1.7, you can download
   it [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/advanced/).
 * We appreciate your feedback and patience as we work to enhance BackWPup.
 * The BackWPup Team
