Prepare storage location

Before working with backups, create a backup location as a backup destination for creating and storing your backup artifacts.

Everest supports Amazon S3-compatible backup locations, which means you can use AWS S3 or any other storage solutions that support S3 API, like min.io.

Important

• Currently, Everest does not support S3 buckets with S3 Object Lock. Make sure your backup destination you are registering does not have S3 Object Lock enabled.
• Make sure you have read/write/delete permissions to the S3 bucket.
• Make sure not to share the same backup storage location for multiple database clusters.

To create a backup storage location:

1. Go to Settings > Backup storage and click Add backup storage.
2. In the Name field, specify a location name using only lowercase alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
3. Enter your credentials, making sure to use regional AWS STS endpoints instead of the global endpoint: https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com. Using an endpoint that is geographically closer to your application reduces latency and provides better response times.
