In this article, I’ll introduce the The Data processing engines In Akeeba Backup. Because this option includes 18 sections so I’ll divide it into 3 parts.
Data processing engines part I
1.No post-processing
This is the default setting and the only one one available to Akeeba Backup Core. It does no post-processing. It simply leaves the backup archives on your server.
2.Upload to CloudMe
Using this engine, you can upload your backup archives to the European cloud storage service CloudMe.
The required settings for this engine are:
- Delete archive after processing: If enabled, the archive files will be removed from your server after they are uploaded to CloudMe.
- Process each part immediately: If you enable this, each backup part will be uploaded as soon as it’s ready. This is useful if you are low on disk space (disk quota) when used in conjunction with Delete archive after processing.
- Username: Your CloudMe username
- Password: Your CloudMe password
- Directory: The directory inside your CloudMe Blue Folder™ where your files will be stored in. If you want to use subdirectories, you have to use a forward slash.
