Create a Repository

We highly recommend to read the page describing Repositories.

Instructions

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

1

Open the Repositories page

In the left-hand menu, go to Storage → Repositories.

2

Create a new Repository

Click the Add Repository (or “+ New Repository”) button.

3

Fill in the Repository detail

• Name: A human-readable description (e.g. “MyApp-Backups”).

• API type: Choose one of S3, GCS, or Azure Blob to determine which protocol your backend server will use.

4

Associate Buckets

Switch to the Storage Buckets tab in the form. Click Add Bucket and select one or more of the buckets you previously configured.

Name collisions: within a single repo you cannot mix two buckets (or accounts) that share the same identifier. For example, you can’t have both an S3 bucket and a GCS bucket named “mydata” in the same repo .

5

Save the Repository

Click Save (or Create). Your new repository will now appear in the list.

6

Generate API keys

Once the repo is saved, open it and go to the API Keys tab. Click Add API key, then:

• Description: e.g. “Read-only key for analytics”

• Access mode: READ or WRITE Click Create and immediately copy the generated secret to your clipboard—secrets are only shown once.

The API secret is only available to copy in the clipboard right after the creation of the API key entry. See here for more information.
