Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes (install guide for Akeeba Backup Pro esp the remote site backup instructions)
Joomla! version: (mostly 1.5 sites and some 2.5 sites)
PHP version: 5.2.17
MySQL version: 5.0.92-community
Host: WHM/Cpanel
Akeeba Backup version: pro 3.4.3

Apologies if this in a post but my searching didn't reveal it.

If possible how can I configure Akeeba Backup Pro to keep 6 files on the server but every month to also export one backup to Amazon S3.

I have configured the local backups to daily, keeping 6 and saving the last 3 days and not deleting the first of each month. So I have the three most recent daily backups and the three most recent monthly backups. This seems to work fine and I'm very happy with it.

Then I've added the offsite backup option to Amazone S3 but it is saving all the daily backups offline . So it seems when I add the offsite backup option it takes a copy of EVERY backup and stores it on the remote server.

How can I keep my local setup as above but just have a monthly offsite backup. This is to reduce bandwidth costs. So I want to keep 6 local backups on the web server but save one per month to Amazon S3.

Thanks again for your fantastic software and all help most appreciated.

Regards Nick

fantastic! Thanks Dr Nick
Can i still use lazy scheduler with multiple profiles. Cron seems scary even on Cpanel

thanks Mr Nick
ah no cron it is. I'll go read up on it. Do you have a sample cpanel cron?

Thanks Mr Nicholas
One other question or it might be a feature request? Is there any way of setting up one site configuration for Akeeba Backup Pro and then using it for multiple sites on the same server?

We have a cpanel server with around 200 Joomla sites. Our job for Tuesday is to install admin Tools and Akkeeba Pro on all the sites and then configure Akeeba Pro with multiple profiles for local and remote backup as above.

One of our techs worked out how to edit the default Akeeba install profile to include our config but I don't think this will work with multiple profiles. We do have access to PHPMyAdmin on the server level if it could be done with SQL?

I did some googling but it doesn't seem to have been asked before. (apologies if I missed it)

Is this something you've solved or would consider adding to future releases. Being able to copy, automate or sync the backup config for multiple sites would be a great time saver.

Many thanks for your great support and programs.

Regards Nick
