[support] backup_migrate

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

Shai: would one encounter any email restr4ictions on size at, say a 200 MB 
database?

Tony: Yes you should so others like you don't have the problem.

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.
