No. WP Database Backup owns the schedule, the dump, and the destinations. SleekView reads the job log WP Database Backup writes and renders it as a grid. That separation is intentional: the backup tool stays canonical and the observability layer stays read-only.

From the wp_options entries WP Database Backup writes for each run (status, started_at, finished_at, size_bytes, destination) and the .sql.zip files in /wp-content/uploads/db-backup. No additional logger and no premium add-on is required.

Yes. The destination column is filterable, so isolating runs that targeted Dropbox, FTP, email, or local is one click. Useful when one remote has stopped accepting uploads and the rest are healthy, which is otherwise invisible in the default archive list.

Yes. WP Database Backup writes the same job entries regardless of tier. SleekView reads what is already present, so the grid works on free installs and on any commercial tier without any premium dependency on the backup side.

Yes. Sort the grid by size to find the run that dropped from 400 MB to a few kilobytes. The size column is one of the most useful for catching dumps that completed with a Success status but actually shipped almost nothing because a table was locked or a credential was rotated mid-run.

Yes. The plugin writes per-site job entries, and SleekView respects that scope. On multisite each subsite has its own backup grid, and a network-level view can roll runs up across blogs when one ops team monitors the whole network.

No. Only the rows on the current page are queried, and the wp_options entries are tiny. A site with two years of nightly history queries the same as a site with two weeks because pagination keeps the row count constant.

Yes. Any filtered view exports to CSV. Quarterly reliability reviews and retainer reports get a defensible sheet instead of a screenshot of the Existing Backups screen with arrows drawn on it.
