Leonlin does your server a internet connection directly on boot? Or do you relay on a vm or docker container to setup some proxy? if so you wil indeed have the problem that the plugin cannot be installed/loaded on boot. There is a work a round as i describe here: it requires to manual install the plugin and not from the community application store

Sorry for the late reaction forgot to enable notificaitons. Yes this exactly what i am having to. I run my router as a vm and the first few minutes after a reboot i dont have a internet connection. After some digging i found that the plugin tries to download xmlstarlet package.

I took a look the code and the last pr https://github.com/JTok/unraid.vmbackup/pull/36/files gives me the impression that installtation without internet was fixed. It should no longer remove the xmlstarlet package and install it locally. But this pr has been merged to a development branch and not to the master branch. I have tried to install the plugin from the development branch and it does work even after a reboot. My solution for now is to manual install theplugin from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jtok/unraid.vmbackup/development/vmbackup.plg But it would be nice to be able to switch back to de master branch for stability reasons.

Is someone stil using this plugin? it has been in beta quite a while. It works great for making backups of my vms. But i have noticed the plugin is uninstalled after I reboot my server. Does else have this problem and is there something I can do to fix it? (I used community application plugin to install the vm backup plugin)
