Either on-demand (quick) or scheduled backups (on cron) Let’s focus on scheduled.
Destinations (actually includes both sources and destinations)Many possibilities here.Let’s focus on backing up the database to the local webserver.
Adding a new schedule
BACKING UP YOUR DATA (BACKUP & MIGRATE)
#4
Want to back it up to Amazon S3?
Create an account w/ them. Create a “bucket”. (Note: Use lowercase!)
Also grab your “security credentials”. (Two codes you’ll need for B&M.)
BACKING UP YOUR DATA (BACKUP & MIGRATE)
#4
Next, for S3, on the Drupal site add a “destination” of type “Amazon S3 bucket”. Just enter in the name of the bucket & security credentials.
Note: A number of handy destinations are added by default by B&M module.
BACKING UP YOUR DATA (BACKUP & MIGRATE)
#4
Set up a schedule (just like previous example) but have it send the backup to the S3 destination you just created (instead of the local webserver)
Also, you can send the Drupal “files” directory over there by adding an additional schedule and using the built-in “Public Files Directory” destination Note: Must have the B&M Files module installed to do this.
BACKING UP YOUR DATA (BACKUP & MIGRATE)

Go ahead and run cron to make sure data makes it over to S3 correctly.
