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
00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:42.705
Here you can see many options

16
00:00:43.185 --> 00:00:45.623
including upload to Dropbox.

17
00:00:46.801 --> 00:00:48.098
Once that's selected

18
00:00:48.756 --> 00:00:49.825
choose Configure.

19
00:00:51.866 --> 00:00:53.312
In order for our web site

20
00:00:53.333 --> 00:00:54.731
to talk to Dropbox

21
00:00:54.934 --> 00:00:57.192
we need to authenticate it.

22
00:00:58.296 --> 00:01:00.075
Click on the authentication button

23
00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:01.942
and a popup will open.

24
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:03.610
and you may be asked

25
00:01:03.699 --> 00:01:05.699
to login to dropbox.

26
00:01:06.649 --> 00:01:08.649
Now, click on the complete

27
00:01:08.642 --> 00:01:10.642
authentication button.

28
00:01:13.839 --> 00:01:15.505
The directory that we want to store

29
00:01:15.555 --> 00:01:16.927
the backup in

30
00:01:17.051 --> 00:01:20.196
is by default the root 
of our dropbox account

31
00:01:20.782 --> 00:01:22.782
but we can store it anywhere we want

32
00:01:23.196 --> 00:01:25.500
including a subdirectory.

33
00:01:27.316 --> 00:01:29.316
As you can see a token

34
00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:31.459
has been automatically entered.

35
00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:35.509
Once you have configured Dropbox

36
00:01:35.812 --> 00:01:37.812
Save and Close your configuration

37
00:01:38.003 --> 00:01:41.271
and you are now ready to 
perform your first backup

38
00:01:41.929 --> 00:01:44.345
with the files being saved in Dropbox.

39
00:01:51.644 --> 00:01:53.410
Once the backup has completed

40
00:01:53.651 --> 00:01:55.651
we can go to our Manage Backups

41
00:01:56.998 --> 00:01:58.387
and here we can see

42
00:01:58.747 --> 00:02:00.451
the backup just took place

43
00:02:01.333 --> 00:02:02.722
it is a Remote Backup

44
00:02:03.588 --> 00:02:07.960
and the files are stored remotely.

45
00:02:08.935 --> 00:02:11.177
From this link we are able to

46
00:02:11.252 --> 00:02:12.772
bring the backup

47
00:02:12.735 --> 00:02:13.949
back from Dropbox

48
00:02:14.083 --> 00:02:16.377
directly on to our web server.

49
00:02:16.573 --> 00:02:18.573
or our desktop.

50
00:02:20.014 --> 00:02:22.421
Now every time a backup

51
00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:24.825
is performed by Akeeba Backup Professional

52
00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:26.972
the backup file itself

53
00:02:27.378 --> 00:02:30.297
is being stored remotely 
in our Dropbox account.
