## Description

Using this plugin, you can easily and automatically backup important parts of
 your
WordPress install to Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is an extremely cheap service that is 
easy to set up. For pennies a month, you can make sure that your important files
will be kept safe.

Important caveat: this plugin currently has to be run on a linux server.
 Also, 
the wp-content/uploads folder has to be server-writable or it won’t be able to create
the zips for backup.

## Installation

Before you can use this plugin, you need to be sure to sign up for an Amazon
 S3
account. Once you get your access key and secret key, you can paste them into your
plugin’s settings page. From there, the setup should be pretty simple.
