As I recall, it should allow you to backup the files somewhere, as it is designed to migrate the whole lot. Hi, its been a long time since I tried to be honest, do not do much Drupal stuff now.

I hope I am wrong due to a lack of nice settings... Could you tell me how to set this module in order to save files please ? Thanks Hi, thanks for your efficient blog :)

Both work well, and do the job, but I recommend the backup_migrate option as the author of the script is still maintaining it as far as I can tell. Always one of the downfalls of using open source software - sometimes people just get bored of a project and no-one else takes the reins. I have actually used two backup modules in Drupal;

I quote: "Currently for backup, I am using a module which backs up all the files and the database into one tar.gz file." Which module!?
