  • Secret word : Whenever you need to take a front-end backup, you have to supply this secret word to let Akeeba Backup know that you really have access to its functions.
  • Enable front-end and remote backup: Akeeba Backup allows you to take backups from the front-end, or from compatible remote clients.
