Put the arena's top-ranked backup plugin to work

Try SafeGuard — the #1 ranked backup plugin

Backup Arena is built by the SafeGuard team, and SafeGuard competes here. It runs the same snapshots and scoring as everything else, and the runs it loses are published unchanged. How we test.

50 of these tier wins were decided by the opponent crashing (it could not complete a backup or restore on that hosting tier where this plugin could), not by a faster or smaller backup.
