Robert-
You are absolutely correct that CodeGuard does not require a plugin! We can understand your confusion around the wording of "backup plugin" vs backup service. The rationale was that we wanted to start in a place that most WordPress users would understand. You would be surprised how many website owners (using CMS platforms) don't even touch FTP/SFTP. And "whitelist IPs" draws a blank stare!

The intent of this survey was to try to get a sense of the broad WP base: how do they view things today, and what's important? Our service isn't for everyone, as many free plugins can meet the limited/non-existent budgets of many website owners.

We're happy to work with customers like you, who are relied upon by their customers to manage their websites and provide peace-of-mind.
