How to back up to multiple Amazon S3 accounts with CloudBerry Backup

Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Backup 1.4 and later.

CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows backup and restore that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage. In the newer releases we are introducing an ability to back up data to multiple Amazon S3 accounts and buckets.
Every time you create a new backup plan you have an option to create a new account. This is basically what you need to choose if you want to associate your new backup plan with a new Amazon S3 account (or a bucket).

If you already have several accounts set up you can simply choose the right account from the list and your new account will be associated with the new backup plan.

If you want to change the account for an existing plan simply go the Backup Plans tab and run edit backup plan wizard. Notice how the account name shows up next to the backup plan name: Demo and Private Accounts in the example below.

Note: if account is not specified your backup plan will not run and you have to update the account information exactly as explained above.
