EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: I have just purchased the Akeeba Back-up Professional and will be backing up to Amazons3. I would like my back-up files to replace the back-up files from the previous back-up, so that there is only one back-up. How do I do this?

Is that what "Delete archive after processing means?" or does that mean something different?

Thanks for your help.

Technically one backup will not overwrite another. You can do what you want to do with quotas in the Configuration screen. Under Quota Management you will need to check Enable remote files quotas so Akeeba can delete the backups on S3 (it will also need the appropriate permissions in the S3 setup). Next check Enable count quota, then enter 1 backup in the Count quota field.

Keeping only one backup is like putting all your eggs in one basket - not a good idea. Please keep more than one backup archive.
