How to Use an e3 Storage Bucket with eazyBackup

This guide configures the eazyBackup desktop application to store backups in an e3 Object Storage bucket.

This is not e3 Cloud Backup (agents/jobs in the browser). This is the eazyBackup desktop app using a custom S3 vault.

Connection settings: Connection details.

Part 1: Create a bucket

1. Sign in to the client area and open e3 Object Storage.

2. Go to Buckets.

3. Click Create Bucket.

4. Enter a Bucket Name and Select Bucket Owner (Root user or a User whose keys you will use).

5. Submit to create the bucket.

See Buckets for versioning and Object Lock options.

Part 2: Add a Storage Vault in eazyBackup

1. Open the eazyBackup desktop application.

2. Open Settings → Storage Vaults.

3. Click + (Add) and choose Custom.

4. Name the vault (e.g. e3 Storage).

5. Type of storage — S3-compatible.

S3 connection fields

Field	Value
Hostname	s3.ca-central-1.eazybackup.com (from Access Keys → Service URL)
Region	Automatic (default)
Access key / Secret key	From Access Keys (Root) or Users
Bucket	Exact bucket name from Part 1
Subdirectory	e.g. backup-data (optional prefix inside the bucket)

Click Test Connection, then Next and Save.

Default vault: The app may ship with a default eazyBackup cloud vault. You do not have to remove it to add an e3 vault. Only remove the default vault if you intentionally want to stop using hosted cloud storage and understand that protected items pointing at that vault will need reconfiguration.

Part 3: Back up to the vault

Create or edit Protected Items and select your new e3 Storage vault as the destination.
