SleekView Charts for Solid Backups
Solid Backups records every run in wp_backupbuddy_history with destination, status, size, and duration. SleekView Charts reads that table and turns it into the reliability dashboard the default admin never offered.

Backup reliability as a dashboard
Solid Backups (the plugin formerly known as BackupBuddy, now maintained by SolidWP) records every run in wp_backupbuddy_history with job name, type, destination, size, status, and finished_at. The default admin lists runs chronologically with pagination, which is fine for spot checks but quietly hides the aggregate shape that matters most: success rate this month, destination concentration, duration drift, restore point coverage.
SleekView Charts reads wp_backupbuddy_history and renders it as a configurable dashboard. Number cards show successful Fulls in the last 30 days, restore points available, and average backup size. A donut splits the destination mix across Stash Live, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, and FTP. Bar cards rank outcomes per destination. Area cards trace duration over time so the job that started slipping by ten minutes a week is visible early.
Every card reads the same table the admin pages already consume, so Solid Backups continues to own schedules, destinations, and restore tooling. The dashboard is a read on top, which is the right shape for a backup plugin that has been a default choice on serious WordPress sites for over a decade.

Comparison
Default Solid Backups reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default Solid Backups screens
- Backup history is paginated with limited filters
- No success rate or failure rate at a glance
- No destination mix chart
- No duration or size trend over time
- Restore point flag buried inside per-run detail
SleekView Charts
- Number cards for successful Fulls, restore points, and average size
- Donut for destination concentration across cloud targets
- Stacked bar for outcomes broken down per destination
- Area chart for duration or size over time
- All cards filter together by destination, outcome, or date range
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Solid Backups
Reliability on one screen
Replace the paginated history with a dashboard that answers reliability questions directly. Success rate, destination mix, and duration trend sit on a single screen instead of behind several pages of run records.
Restore points first-class
Restore point coverage gets its own number card. The flag that has lived in run detail since BackupBuddy days becomes a headline figure that ops actually reads before deploys.
Scheduling drift visible
An area chart of finished_at against scheduled time exposes jobs that have slipped over a quarter. The ten-minutes-a-week creep becomes visible early, weeks before someone notices the schedule has actually broken.
Audience
Who builds Solid Backups charts dashboards with SleekView
Mission-critical sites
Open the dashboard each morning to confirm backups across every destination are healthy this week. The reliability check is a glance, not a paginated walkthrough.
Agencies
Standardize a backup reliability dashboard across every client retainer. The same four cards answer the same four questions for every site, so the monthly review becomes a screenshot per site.
DevOps teams
Surface backup reliability in the same WP Admin where operations live. No second dashboard, no extra credentials for the on-call rotation, no separate reporting product to license.
The bigger picture
A reliability layer built from a table that has always existed
Backup software fails in two characteristic ways: loudly and quietly. The loud failures get caught the same day because they trigger notifications and someone notices. The quiet ones accumulate over weeks: a destination that creeps from a fast push to a slow one, a backup whose size drops because a table was archived, a restore point flag that nobody set before a risky deploy.
Solid Backups, going back to the BackupBuddy days, has always written exactly the data needed to catch those patterns. wp_backupbuddy_history records every run with the columns ops teams need. The trade-off is that the default admin was designed for occasional spot checks, not for the kind of ongoing reliability review modern WordPress operations require.
Teams that have learned this the hard way usually end up with a spreadsheet or a custom plugin to surface the same data in a more workable form. SleekView Charts replaces that homemade tooling with a read view over the same tables, available wherever the team already works. Reliability becomes a routine, not a crisis discovered at the worst possible moment.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Solid Backups
No. Solid Backups runs jobs, manages destinations, and writes wp_backupbuddy_history exactly as configured. SleekView Charts reads that table and renders aggregate views. The two plugins are independent at runtime.
No. Restores remain in Solid Backups because they are destructive operations that need the plugin's full safeguards. The dashboard helps identify the right run by job, destination, size, and outcome, then a click jumps to the Solid Backups screen for the actual restore.
Yes. SleekView reads whatever Solid Backups records about each destination, so Stash Live, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, FTP, and local destinations all appear identically as filterable values. Adding a new destination in Solid Backups makes it appear in the charts automatically.
Yes. Per-site scope is respected. On multisite each site's wp_backupbuddy_history is exposed in its own SleekView Charts dashboard, or a network-wide view can roll up history across blogs when backup health is a network-level concern.
Negligible. Chart aggregations reuse the existing indexes wp_backupbuddy_history was built with, and results are cached between renders. There are no background jobs, no scheduled exports, and no impact on backup-run timing because the charts never touch the run path.
Yes. Each card supports CSV export of its underlying aggregation. Export the destination donut for a quarterly audit or the duration trend for a host capacity conversation.
Yes. Restore point coverage gets its own number card, and the restore point flag is a filterable dimension across the rest of the dashboard. The single most important filter to have ready before any deploy is one click away.
Solid Backups is the rebrand of BackupBuddy under SolidWP. The plugin is the same product line with the same wp_backupbuddy_history schema, the same destinations, and the same restore tooling. SleekView Charts reads either branding identically because the underlying schema did not change.
