    1. Enter a name for your backup task

    2. Enable the AES-256 encryption

    3. Enter a strong passphrase, keep this safe and do not lose the passphrase

  1. Configure the backup destination.

    1. Storage ype: Select 'S3 Compatible'

    2. Enable 'Use SSL'

    3. Server: Custom URL

    4. Bucket name: Enter the name of your bucket

    5. Region and Storage class can both be set to default
