SleekView for Solid Backups Pro: backup runs and recovery as tables
Solid Backups (formerly BackupBuddy) writes run history into wp_options with archives on disk. SleekView lifts those rows into one grid with type, destination, size, and outcome on every row.

Same data, finally as a grid
Solid Backups Pro is the rebrand of BackupBuddy, and the data model is unchanged: per-run records in wp_options under the plugin's prefix, archives on disk under wp-content/uploads/backupbuddy_*, and destinations like Solid Backups Stash, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, and FTP. The default Backups screen lists archive files chronologically with a status badge, which is fine for one-site inspection and weak for operational reporting. Slow runs, throttled destinations, and recurring warnings all share the same plain row treatment.
SleekView reads the same run records and gives each a row with the columns that earn their keep when something goes wrong: started, type (Database, Files, Database+Files, Schedule), destination, size, duration, outcome. Filtering destination equals Stash with outcome equals Warning over 30 days surfaces the slow-pushing storage runs the Backups screen never highlights. Sorting by duration descending catches the slow drift in nightly fulls before it overlaps the next schedule.
Edits route through Solid Backups Pro's own hooks. Re-running a job, pruning a destination, or rotating credentials all call plugin actions rather than writing to option records directly. The schedule, the encryption keys, and the destination credentials remain canonical inside Solid Backups; SleekView is the read layer over the records the plugin already maintains.

Comparison
Default Solid Backups Pro admin vs SleekView
Default Solid Backups Pro admin
- Backups screen does not filter by destination or by type as first-class columns.
- Duration is recorded but is not a sortable column for trend detection.
- Warnings, failures, and successes share the same plain row treatment.
- Stash quota is shown as a single number, not as a trend across recent runs.
- There is no saved-view concept, so ops and owners read the same single screen.
SleekView
-
wp_optionsrun records become rows with type, destination, size, duration, outcome. - Saved views per role: ops sees failures in 24h, owners see monthly storage by destination.
- Inline re-run, prune, and credential rotation call Solid Backups' own hooks.
- Quota trend reconstructed from per-run Stash quota values, when present.
-
Row context menu opens the on-disk archive folder under
wp-content/uploads/backupbuddy_*.
Features
What SleekView gives you for Solid Backups Pro
Run columns first-class

Duration trend

Writes through plugin hooks
Re-run, prune, and credential rotation all call Solid Backups Pro's actions, never direct writes to the option-based record store.

The bigger picture
Why the rebrand still needs a grid
Solid Backups Pro is the same backup engine BackupBuddy customers have used for years, and that history is what makes its data set worth a grid. Long-running customers accumulate run records that span many destinations, many archive types, and many schedule variations. The default Backups screen is designed for inspecting individual archives, which is appropriate at small scale and painful at agency or multi-site scale.
The questions ops engineers and owners actually ask (Did every nightly full succeed this month? Is the Stash push duration drifting? Which destination produced the most warnings?) are joins and aggregates that a flat list cannot answer cleanly. SleekView reads the same option-based records and turns them into a grid with sortable columns, saved views, role scoping, and inline actions that call Solid Backups' own hooks. The plugin's backup engine, encryption, and destination credentials all remain authoritative.
The grid is the operational view layer that turns Solid Backups Pro from a backup product into a backup operations product, and it is what long-running BackupBuddy customers have wanted out of the rebrand all along.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Solid Backups Pro
Yes. The rebrand kept the option keys, the archive paths, and the destination integrations identical, so the SleekView grid maps cleanly across both names.
 Every destination Solid Backups Pro itself supports (Stash, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP) because the grid reads from plugin records, not from cloud APIs.
 
Yes, by calling Solid Backups' own action hooks from the row context menu. The grid never writes to wp_options directly.
Yes. Solid Backups distinguishes warning from failure, and the outcome column preserves that distinction as a filterable value.
 When the run record includes Stash quota at completion, the grid reconstructs a quota trend by reading that value at each row.
 Server-side pagination against Solid Backups' option index keeps a year of nightly runs interactive.
 Yes. Per-site and network-wide views aggregate size and outcome counts per sub-site.
 
Preserved. The row context menu opens the on-disk archive folder Solid Backups already wrote under wp-content/uploads/backupbuddy_*.
