An S3 destination requires a bucket, regional settings and credentials with suitable access.
Steps for Windows
- Choose an S3-compatible destination available in the Storage screen.
- Select an appropriate bucket and region in the cloud account.
- Enter the configured access settings in Duplicacy and save the destination.
- Test write, check and restore operations with a small sample.
How to verify the result
The storage connection works and the restored sample matches its original.
Permissions, object retention policies and egress pricing vary across S3 providers.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
