Create a Bucket

We highly recommend to read the page describing Buckets and you can also set up a bucket with our API calls.

The guide is experimental and may contain errors as our technology continues to evolve. If you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us in Discord and give us your feedback.

Instructions

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a new Bucket in the Flashback Platform:

1

Access the Buckets page

In the left-hand menu, select Storage → Buckets.

2

Create a new Bucket

Click the + Add Bucket button and select the provider where you will connect your tenant bucket or storage account to this Flashback bucket.

3

Fill in the Flashback Bucket properties

On the “Create Bucket” form, enter the following fields (all are required unless noted otherwise):

Bucket Label: human-readable label for this bucket of the Flashback Platform (e.g. “Backups-EU”).

We recommend to have unique name per bucket to avoid issues when you'll set up your repository.

Storage Type: You can choose of:

• S3 (AWS or any S3-compatible endpoint provider)

• GCS (GCP or any GCS-compatible endpoint provider)

• Azure Blob (only Microsoft Azure)

• Secret Key: Your AWS secret key OR External ID for delegated roles

• Endpoint (optional): custom S3 endpoint URL OR leave blank if using AWS

• Region: AWS region required if no custom endpoint.

GCP or any GCS-compatible provider

• Bucket Name: The exact identifier as defined by your provider in your vendor tenant (e.g. the S3 bucket name in your GCS account).

• Client Email: Your service account email OR a delegated service account

• Private Key: service account private key OR leave blank if using delegated access
