Backup info
JOOMLA ONLY
Shows the latest backup detected on the remote site. Only Akeeba Backup is supported:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Product | Always Akeeba Backup. |
| Latest backup | Timestamp of the latest backup taken. |
| Backup type | Full, files or database. |
| Status | The latest backup's result: pending, failed or completed. |
If Akeeba Backup is detected, and the site is running Securitycheck Pro (unavailable on plain Securitycheck sites), two more settings appear:
- Akeeba's frontend secret word - the word Akeeba's front-end uses to protect this feature against DoS attacks. Front-end and remote backup must be enabled in Akeeba for this to work; the Make remote backup button stays disabled until this field is filled in and saved.
- Akeeba profile and Automated backup - the Akeeba profile to use, and whether to schedule an automatic backup (daily, weekly or monthly) using the stored secret word and profile. This is the same mechanism Remote backup uses in bulk — scheduling it here just means Joomla's own Scheduled Tasks must be configured to actually launch it.
Since Akeeba 7.0, remote backups require a licensed copy — its free version no longer allows them.
