To get the plugin up and running, you'll have to add a bit of information in the settings page:

• AWS Credentials
  • Key
  • Secret
• Backup Destination
  • Bucket Name
• AWS Settings
  • Region (if you don't know your region, you can check out Amazon's list of regions)

There are some optional settings as well:

• Notification Address This is for getting email confirmation on successful backups. You can add multiple addresses, just seperate them with a ','.
• Backup Schedule
  • How often to automatically backup the database
  • How often to automatically backup the uploads directory

You can also manually backup the database and uploads by clicking the "Backup" button on the settings page.

Multisites

If your site is a multisite, then you will only be able to update the plugin's settings from the network admin view. The zipped uploads folder and the database dump will contain all instance's uploads and database tables, respectively.
