#-### Support for automated, encrypted, daily backups to Amazon S3

  * This new feature is available on self-hosted BOA and hosted Power Engines.
  * Note that provided 'backboa' tool uses symmetric password-only encryption.
  * You can configure AWS Region you prefer to use and Backup Rotation policy.

  It will archive all directories required to restore your data (sites files,
  databases archives, Nginx configuration and more) on a freshly installed BOA:

    /etc /var/aegir /var/www /home /data

  It will start to run nightly at 2:08 AM (server time) only once you will add
  five required _AWS_* variables in the /root/.barracuda.cnf file and run the
  special command 'backboa install' while logged in as root.

  To restore any file from backups created with 'backboa' tool, you can use
  the same script on the same or any other BOA server.

  Please read docs/BACKUPS.txt at https://github.com/omega8cc/boa for details.
