Configure a backup destination
Separate stored destination configuration from verified backup and restore results.
Before you begin
An authorized local/S3 destination and private credentials where needed.
Use the controls offered by your installed version and account permissions. This guide describes the workflow; it does not grant additional access.
Follow the steps
- Open Backups and its destination controls.
- Enter only supported destination parameters and keep credentials private.
- Run the offered connection/verification action.
- Create a representative backup and inspect artifact location.
- Prove a restore on a disposable destination before relying on it for recovery.
Check the result
Connection, completed backup and tested restoration provide separate evidence.
If something goes wrong
A passing connection alone does not prove retention or restorability. Do not delete old backups until replacement coverage is verified.
