I do not feel comfortable giving my SFTP, SSL and mySQL passwords to a third party software that works in the background.
Furthermore, my web site has over 1TB of data, working in the background is a sure thing for a disaster to happen. One tiny glitch in the power, IS provider or data error can disrupt the whole process. It may take a very long time to do the backup working with few bytes of transfer per second.
Another problem is our tunneling protocol and proxy servers use different ports than this software allows.

It may be good for someone with small web site or just a web site for people to read news or blogs, but is not suitable for large customers d-Base and data that changes every second on the original web site.

There are some things to like about this, if it didn't raise red flags with me.

First, the claim that "Secure. All communications with your WordPress website are performed by secure HTTPS protocol." No. That's not how HTTPS works. If your site is not SSL secured, then NO communication between the site and ANYWHERE is secure. So, does this mean the developer is running communications to THEIR SERVER in HTTPS mode? Suspicious.

Their site says "Backupery applications don't send a single piece of your protected data beyond your computer." So, where is this secured HTTPS communication, then? And, your username/password for your hosting server and db server are technically "protected data" which must be transmitted to the servers for authentication of the program before downloading anything.

They also say, "Also, you don't need to share your usernames and passwords with Backupery software." That may be true of local windows username/password; but certainly isn't true of the username/password of your Wordpress site, DB server, FTP server, etcetera.

The seeming lack of understanding, or possibly intentional misrepresentation, of these basics makes me not willing to try the software. I wanted to try it, at first glance. But, decided against.

As for feature set, it would only be useful for people with only one site. Being able to backup more sites would be nice, if I could get passed my distrust.

Utterly useless
Expiry date for trial is April 2017, registered version expires Feb 2017

An unregistered version works longer than the giveawayoftheday version.

If this is an indication of their quality control and how dependable their software is - they can keep it.

I'll stick with the plugins designed for WordPress and tested by WordPress as authentic and functional.

Setup installs the program directly in local of the current user:

The new settings are active after shut-down in the system-tray:

But changing the backup-place the program freezes.
I found a log:

Also a PDB:

Also a other program WINSCP:

And that's free-ware:

I cannot test the program, because I do not have a website in Wordpress
