Configure and protect QCBM managed storage, set up the Recovery PIN, prepare large Joomla sites, verify storage security, and use readiness and data-integrity tools before relying on backups for recovery.
Learn how QCBM Backup Profiles control backup type, scheduling, archive and split settings, exclusions, retention, and automatic off-site export for repeatable Joomla backup workflows.
Create and manage manual and scheduled backups, understand staged and resumable processing, continue work in the background, review Backup History, verify Backup Sets, download Recovery Packages and the permanent Backup Log, and manage backup records safely.
Configure and manage QCBM off-site destinations, including local or server paths, SFTP, FTPS, FTP, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Learn testing, default destinations, manual and automatic export, verification, and troubleshooting.
Prepare for recovery and use the standalone QCBM Recovery Runner to restore complete Joomla sites, databases, or files; move a site to another location; validate targets; resume or roll back recovery; and complete the Recovery Report workflow.
Configure QCBM notification recipients and scheduled-backup alerts, manage built-in and custom email templates, use template tokens and previews, and test or troubleshoot Joomla email delivery.
Use QCBM File Valet to find and queue files, copy or park them off-site, verify remote packages, retrieve parked files, resolve conflicts, finish interrupted operations, and safely manage File Valet records and protected paths.
Install and use QCBM Receiver, pair Joomla sites with the Windows companion, store verified Recovery Packages on a PC, external drive, or NAS, use resumable verified downloads, manage retention, and troubleshoot pairing or collection.
