Backup to Amazon S3
Hi,
I've been using Backup4all for quite a while now and am very happy with its features. What I would like to see, however, is the ability to backup to Amazon S3. S3 is a cost-effective solution, and is perfectly suitable for backups. There are several tools available but none of them beats Backup4all when it comes to the true "backup features". I am aware that there's a tutorial in the KB detailing how to use WebDrive to map an S3 account to a network drive, but this obviously would not work when running under a system account. Apart from this restriction (which one could work around), I'd rather see an integrated solution as opposed to relying on 3rd party software.
Is this something Backup4all could consider?

Hi,
We will think about adding the S3 as an integrated destination in Backup4all.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
