I'm running WordPress 3.1 and I have your plugin installed.  I want to backup to an S3 account which I have configured and I've clicked the "Activate" button to turn it green.  However, on the "Cron" Tab of the Configuration page, S3 is not an option under "Backup store mode."  All I see are Local Server, Remote FTP account, and Email.  

I can't seem to find the option to post the backup to S3 anywhere.  I saw in the documentation reference to expected log output, but I'm not sure where this is being logged to.

 

The local server backup works fine.  Thanks!

 

A few server details:

PhP Version 5.3.5

OS: Linux

Hi Greg, you need to look in the Amazon S3 Storage config box, you will see there an Activate button in Blue, to Activate the amazon transfer, you simply need to click it so it's green and save the config.

 

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Ovidiu - thanks.  I had already done this - the credentials for S3 are provided and the box is Green, yet none of my backups have been saved to S3.  Any other ideas?

Do you have the log output from the your cron manager to see if that option is being processed?
