[support] backup_migrate

[Shai Gluskin]

Tony,

While we are on the topic of backup_migrate. Remember that backing up the
database to the same box that your Drupal install is on has some beneficial
use-cases but *it does nothing* for a disaster scenario where your drive
crashes or you no longer have access to the box for some reason.

Backup Migrate now comes with email, FTP and S3 options which are awesome.
They all have some security issues though.

I've played around a lot this week with Amazon S3 and had success using
backup_migrate to write backup files to S3 buckets. I've wrapped my mind
around the permissions functionalities at S3 enough to significantly
mitigate the security concerns that come with backup_migrate. I'm very
excited about it and I'm hoping to write a doc page about it this weekend.

Good luck with Drupal and backup_migrate... awesome stuff.
