Open LMS Offsite Backup Reports

Offsite automatic backup reports allow you to ensure that backups are being shipped to Amazon S3 regularly. You can view the status of existing offsite backups. You can also search for individual courses to review the status, or view the status of all course backups for a specified date range.
