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 dif-
ference 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:
Manual backups

Weekly backups
