Best Overall
Not Directly Comparable

These plugins back up different amounts of data โ€” see the Backup Scope badges below. Speed and storage comparisons are not apples-to-apples.

โš ๏ธDifferent backup scope -- results may not be directly comparable

One plugin backs up more data categories than the other, which affects both speed and archive size.

Backup Scope

DBPluginsThemesUploadswp-configWP Core

โš ๏ธ No WordPress core files (wp-admin, wp-includes). Restoring onto a bare server needs a separate WordPress install.

wp-config.php is not in the archive. Plugins that leave it out rebuild it during their own restore, so this is recorded rather than penalised. Why
