Ideal Use

We use this package in our company, Weble, to mantain the backups of our clients' sites. We have a server at our office which runs this package, and every time we build a new website for a client, we add it to the list using the nice UI of the Backup Manager, and have the server trigger the backup and download a copy locally, storing older versions, just to be safe.

We also integrate AkeebaBackup with Amazon S3, so for each website we have a on-site copy, an S3 copy and a series of local copies. This also makes both testing and recovering of websites much easier, since we don't ahve to download backups anymore, since we already have every backup stored locally, without having to lose the advantage and the speed of the S3 cloud storage.
