Otherwise the backup will return an error message and it will not be possible to perform it. On this page of the panel you will also find a link to the tutorial that explains how to install Akeeba Backup on your site and how to perform the backup.

These were the innovations that we introduced in the CMS Manager management panel at site level. But the news doesn't end here. We have also decided to implement management at the extension level, in order to be able to update the components present on multiple sites at the same time.

EXTENSIONS TO UPDATE We have also implemented management at the extension level to allow you to update the components common to multiple sites from a single control panel:

CMS Manager - Extensions By clicking on the EXTENSIONS TO UPDATE button you will be redirected to the section dedicated to the list of extensions, present on all your Joomla! sites. managed with the CMS Manager.

Furthermore, thanks to the IGNORE column you can decide not to show available updates for some extensions.

Also in this section you can select the site backup options before performing the updates (both deselected by default also in this section):
