Configure BackWPup

S3 & Glacier

Install the plugin from the Drive folder: Velare Media\Web Design\Plugins
In the side Dashboard, click BackWPup Pro > Add Job
Name the job and select Glacier or S3 as the backup location. Note this decision in the backup name e.g. Velare Backup (S3)
Select Schedule Tab > WordPress Cron > Advanced, then change the frequency to twice a week, e.g. Sunday & Wednesday
Select the last tab (this will be different depending on the backup you choose) and enter the AWS Access & Secret keys that can be found in Velare Logins
Create a new bucket field:
- S3: this has to be lowercase & unique for all of the S3 buckets users in the world so use the prefix ‘velare’ e.g. velare-cc-products
- Glacier: you can use any name here, e.g. cc-products
Set the retention of backups to 30, save the job and run it to verify it works
