External Backups

External backups are stored in your S3 bucket, so YOU own your backups directly. Elestio external backup service is compatible with AWS S3 and any S3 compatible provider.

To enable external backups from the service dashboard click on the Backups tab, then click on Automated External Backups. 

You will have to provide your S3 details (endpoint, bucket name, api key, secret key)

If you don't have access to an AWS S3 bucket or an S3 bucket from another provider, you can deploy Minio to get your own S3 Bucket
