backup and restore of drupal 7

Posted by rafnews on December 24, 2012 at 11:48pm

Hi,

i'm looking for the best solution to backup and restore all my drupal website + database.
under Joomla we have akeeba backup that allow to backup the whole site + database into a single file (like a zip) and to restore the complete website on another webserver just in few steps via a gui.

I would like to know if something like that exists under drupal ?
thx

I understand but i was looking more a complete module that can:
- backup DB
- backup website (not only DB)
- schedule backup
- compress the backup into zip for example and allow download (with email notification)
- restore DB and/or website to allow migration to another server.

i'm not fan of copy and paste... so to copy the whole website + backup DB only is not so good from my point of view.
