Automated copy of backups offsite (i.e. to Amazon S3)
Hi guys,
We use BackupBuddy for all our WordPress sites, and it has the option to automatically do a backup AND to automatically copy that backup offsite, i.e. to Amazon S3.
That is very useful because if you DO have a problem with your system, that backup SHOULD be offsite. :-)
As we rely more on more on the UseResponse community, it becomes more important not only to back it up, but to copy those backup files to a secure location.
Is this something you guys could consider adding as well to the backups module?
Thanks!
We'll see what we can do, but no specifics plans as of now about incremental or offsite backups.

Stas, I'd also like to see this feature.
Dan, how are you liking BackupBuddy? Which host are you using it on? Does it work on all of your hosts or just "some" of them? Have you actually restored a site sucessfully?

Amalgam,
It should work smoothly on any system that uses commercial license.
As I've mentioned we'll consider it for the next releases, as of now we have more important things that we are working on. But if it's popular it will be available in the next releases :)

@Amalgam love BackupBuddy. our production websites all run WordPress, and BackupBuddy is the only viable option for backups. we use it for nightly automated backups on all production sites, and it AUTOMATICALLY copies the backups offsite to our Amazon S3 account major win.
yep, have restored various times - never from a catastrophic failure, always as a dev copy of a production site. works fine. highly recommended.
their support is fine too, tho they're more focused on "why it's not technically broken" than identifying stuff that's actually broken and needs fixing. :-)
regardless they're the only viable game in town, so to speak.
Not sure what you mean by host. our systems run on high end VPS from the only web host we trust with our systems for last 5 years - ServInt

@Stas thank you.
Let me know and i'll lay out how BackupBuddy does it...pretty simple and intuitive.
when you configure backups, you just configure you Amazon S3 account. and select "copy my backups there". it's that simple lol. and that's the goal... yeah, you can keep the backup file on your server (backupbuddy actually does keep last x backups on the server too), but to be a true useful backup, it needs to be copied "off" your server as well. ;-)Thanks!!

Thank you, Dan. We'll get back to you a bit later - next month probably to check on BackupBuddy to include offsite backups in the next releases. As of now, we are busy working on some other things that are on the roadmap.
