Description of my issue:

I have the System - Backup on update plugin enabled. I just updated to Joomla 2.5.17, the backup proceeded successfully, but it used profile #1 which is stored on the website server.

Is there a way to set which profile the Backup on Update will use? I would prefer it to backup to an external server that I have configured in another profile.

Thanks, Richard

This feature will always use the default profile (#1). If you were able to choose another profile and then deleted it some very strange things would happen, that's why I've not implemented that feature.

OK, Thanks for the information. If I update profile #1 to store remotely it will work, right?
