00:00:08.421 --> 00:00:10.612
One feature of Akeeba Backup Professional

2
00:00:11.114 --> 00:00:13.410
is to allow you to automatically

3
00:00:13.472 --> 00:00:14.286
store the backup

4
00:00:14.334 --> 00:00:15.853
on a remote location.

5
00:00:17.115 --> 00:00:19.115
Dropbox is a very popular option

6
00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:21.770
as it provides you with 2 gigabytes

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.640
of cloud storage space free of charge

8
00:00:25.317 --> 00:00:26.590
and it is very simple

9
00:00:26.609 --> 00:00:28.247
with Akeeba Backup Professional

10
00:00:28.652 --> 00:00:30.337
to configure your backups

11
00:00:30.419 --> 00:00:31.301
to be saved

12
00:00:31.374 --> 00:00:33.003
in to your Dropbox folder.

13
00:00:34.255 --> 00:00:37.041
To begin go to the Configuration

14
00:00:37.495 --> 00:00:40.549
scroll down to the processing engine.

15
00:00:45.557 --> 00:00:47.353
Here you can see many options

16
00:00:47.833 --> 00:00:50.271
including upload to Dropbox.

17
00:00:51.449 --> 00:00:52.746
Once that's selected

18
00:00:53.404 --> 00:00:54.473
choose Configure.

19
00:00:56.514 --> 00:00:57.960
In order for our web site

20
00:00:57.981 --> 00:00:59.379
to talk to Dropbox

21
00:00:59.582 --> 00:01:01.840
we need to authenticate it.

22
00:01:02.944 --> 00:01:04.723
Click on the authentication button

23
00:01:05.138 --> 00:01:06.590
and a popup will open.

24
00:01:07.168 --> 00:01:08.258
and you may be asked

25
00:01:08.347 --> 00:01:10.347
to login to dropbox.

26
00:01:11.297 --> 00:01:13.297
Now, click on the complete

27
00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:15.290
authentication button.

28
00:01:18.487 --> 00:01:20.153
The directory that we want to store

29
00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:21.575
the backup in

30
00:01:21.699 --> 00:01:24.844
is by default the root 
of our dropbox account

31
00:01:25.430 --> 00:01:27.430
but we can store it anywhere we want

32
00:01:27.844 --> 00:01:30.148
including a subdirectory.

33
00:01:31.964 --> 00:01:33.964
As you can see a token

34
00:01:34.107 --> 00:01:36.107
has been automatically entered.

35
00:01:38.047 --> 00:01:40.157
Once you have configured Dropbox

36
00:01:40.460 --> 00:01:42.460
Save and Close your configuration

37
00:01:42.651 --> 00:01:45.919
and you are now ready to 
perform your first backup

38
00:01:46.577 --> 00:01:48.993
with the files being saved in Dropbox.

39
00:02:01.125 --> 00:02:02.891
Once the backup has completed

40
00:02:03.132 --> 00:02:05.132
we can go to our Manage Backups

41
00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:07.868
and here we can see

42
00:02:08.228 --> 00:02:09.932
the backup just took place

43
00:02:10.814 --> 00:02:12.203
it is a Remote Backup

44
00:02:13.145 --> 00:02:15.387
From this link we are able to

45
00:02:15.462 --> 00:02:16.982
bring the backup

46
00:02:16.945 --> 00:02:18.159
back from Dropbox

47
00:02:18.293 --> 00:02:20.587
directly on to our web server.

48
00:02:20.783 --> 00:02:22.783
or our desktop.

49
00:02:24.224 --> 00:02:26.631
Now every time a backup

50
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.035
is performed by Akeeba Backup Professional

51
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:31.182
the backup file itself

52
00:02:31.588 --> 00:02:34.507
is being stored remotely 
in our Dropbox account.
