1
00:00:09.444 --> 00:00:12.487
One feature of Akeeba Backup Professional

2
00:00:12.624 --> 00:00:13.923
is to allow you to automatically

3
00:00:13.845 --> 00:00:15.215
store the backup

4
00:00:15.465 --> 00:00:17.059
on a remote location

5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.280
such as Amazon S3.

6
00:00:20.024 --> 00:00:21.563
Amazon Web Services

7
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:23.849
and their S3 storage system

8
00:00:23.924 --> 00:00:26.237
have a free level that you can use

9
00:00:26.384 --> 00:00:28.384
with up 5gb of storage.

10
00:00:28.673 --> 00:00:30.482
Once you have created your account

11
00:00:30.826 --> 00:00:32.393
and logged in to the console

12
00:00:32.639 --> 00:00:36.786
select the S3 scalable storage option.

13
00:00:38.831 --> 00:00:40.831
The first thing you are going to need to do

14
00:00:40.941 --> 00:00:43.171
is to create what Amazon S3

15
00:00:43.266 --> 00:00:44.428
calls a Bucket.

16
00:00:46.884 --> 00:00:49.167
Give your Bucket a unique name

17
00:00:49.550 --> 00:00:51.499
ensuring that you don't use

18
00:00:51.599 --> 00:00:54.105
any upper case letters or spaces.

19
00:00:55.186 --> 00:00:57.186
I usually use the domain name

20
00:00:59.103 --> 00:01:00.123
and select the region

21
00:01:00.167 --> 00:01:02.167
where you want to store your bucket

22
00:01:02.178 --> 00:01:03.667
and click Create.

23
00:01:06.332 --> 00:01:08.332
Now that you have created your Bucket

24
00:01:08.587 --> 00:01:11.715
you will need to create your 
Security Access keys.

25
00:01:13.354 --> 00:01:14.905
Click on your username

26
00:01:15.149 --> 00:01:17.149
and select Security Credentials.

27
00:01:19.356 --> 00:01:21.356
Now click on Access Keys

28
00:01:21.475 --> 00:01:23.731
and create a new Access Key.

29
00:01:24.197 --> 00:01:26.197
Display the key by pressing

30
00:01:26.311 --> 00:01:27.348
Show Access

31
00:01:28.144 --> 00:01:29.884
and you can download 
this key file

32
00:01:29.899 --> 00:01:31.020
for future use

33
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:33.530
but for now let's just keep it open

34
00:01:33.954 --> 00:01:35.840
To configure Akeeba Backup

35
00:01:36.002 --> 00:01:37.681
to now use S3

36
00:01:37.828 --> 00:01:40.071
as the storage location for the backups

37
00:01:40.724 --> 00:01:42.724
we must first select Configuration.

38
00:01:44.036 --> 00:01:45.546
If you scroll down

39
00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:47.908
until you reach the processing engine.

40
00:01:48.401 --> 00:01:50.401
Here you can see several options

41
00:01:50.946 --> 00:01:53.390
and the one we want is Amazon S3.

42
00:01:55.298 --> 00:01:57.692
Once selected click on Configure.

43
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:01.582
We now need to enter our Access Key

44
00:02:02.003 --> 00:02:03.561
which we created earlier.

45
00:02:03.711 --> 00:02:06.579
and the Secret Key that goes with it.

46
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.046
Finally we need to enter the Bucket name

47
00:02:22.365 --> 00:02:24.998
and the Amazon S3 region.

48
00:02:26.858 --> 00:02:29.972
Once that's done we can Save and Close.

49
00:02:31.859 --> 00:02:34.346
Akeeba Backup has now been configured

50
00:02:34.471 --> 00:02:38.005
to store its backups on the 
Amazon S3 cloud.

51
00:02:38.884 --> 00:02:42.467
To test let's take a new backup.

52
00:02:51.381 --> 00:02:53.381
Once the backup has completed

53
00:02:53.427 --> 00:02:55.731
we can go to the Manage Backups page

54
00:02:55.817 --> 00:02:57.817
and we can see

55
00:02:58.591 --> 00:03:00.215
it's Status is REMOTE

56
00:03:00.332 --> 00:03:02.497
and if we click on this link here

57
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.399
we have the option to fetch

58
00:03:04.586 --> 00:03:06.147
 the files back to the server

59
00:03:06.364 --> 00:03:08.825
or to download them to our own Desktop.

60
00:03:09.683 --> 00:03:13.013
If we also go to the S3 
Management Console

61
00:03:13.637 --> 00:03:15.764
we can browse into the bucket

62
00:03:15.778 --> 00:03:18.684
and we can see that our 
backup file has been stored.

63
00:03:19.179 --> 00:03:21.504
Now we are able to create backups

64
00:03:21.686 --> 00:03:23.138
and store them remotely

65
00:03:23.230 --> 00:03:25.517
somewhere separate to the web site.
