Component body

Allows the fine Backup and Migrate module to backup to Rackspace Cloud Files (Rackspace's alternative to Amazon S3).

This is very useful you host your site on Rackspace Cloud instead of Amazon EC2, because (1) it will be faster and (2) you won't be charged for bandwidth between your server and Cloud Files.

Installation

  1. Download and place the 'backup_migrate_cloudfiles' module into your sites/all/modules directory
  2. Download the Cloud Files PHP API from Rackspace's account on GitHub:
  3. Extract the file you download into sites/all/libraries and rename the directory: "cloudfiles"
  4. Enable the 'backup_migrate_cloudfiles' module in your Drupal installing, either:
    • Go to http://YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE/admin/build/modules, or
    • via drush: drush en backup_migrate_cloudfiles
  5. Now you can create a destionation of type "Rackspace Cloud Files Container" here: http://YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE/admin/content/backup_migrate/destination/add
