You are therefore responsible for their proper functioning.\ \ This tutorial is designed to help you as much as possible with common tasks. If you are having difficulty performing these actions, please contact a specialized service provider. OVHcloud cannot provide you with technical support in this regard.   ## Requirements - A container - A user with the required access rights on the container - Your Object Storage credentials (access\_key and secret\_access\_key). See our [Getting Started with Object Storage](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/storage-and-backup/object-storage/getting-started.md) guide. **Note:** To identify your endpoint corresponding to your storage class, please refer to this guide: [Object Storage - Endpoints and geoavailability](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/storage-and-backup/object-storage/endpoints-geoavailability.md)   ## Instructions ### Adding S3™\* Compatible Object Storage #### Step 1 - Launch New Object Repository Wizard To launch the New Object Repository wizard, do one of the following: - Open the **Backup Infrastructure** view. In the inventory pane, select the **Backup Repositories** node and click `Add Repository` on the ribbon. In the **Add Backup Repository** dialog, select `Object Storage`>`S3 Compatible`. - Open the **Backup Infrastructure** view. In the inventory pane, right-click the **Backup Repositories** node and select **Add Backup Repository**. In the **Add Backup Repository** dialog, select `Object Storage`>`S3 Compatible`.   #### Step 2 - Specify Object Storage Name At the **Name** step of the wizard, specify a name and description for the object storage repository: - In the **Name** field, specify a name for the new object storage repository. - In the **Description** field, enter an optional description. The default description includes the user who added the object storage repository and the date and time when the object storage repository was added. If you wish to limit the maximum number of tasks that can be processed at once, select the **Limit concurrent tasks to N** check box.   #### Step 3 - Specify Object Storage Account At the **Account** step of the wizard, specify the connection settings: - In the**Service point** field, specify an endpoint address of your S3™ Compatible object storage: `https://s3..io.cloud.ovh.us`. - In the **Region** field, specify a region: ``. - From the **Credentials** drop-down list, select user credentials to access your S3™ Compatible object storage. If you already have a credentials record that was configured in advance, select it from the drop-down list. Otherwise, click `Add` and provide your access and secret keys. You can also click the `Manage cloud accounts` link to add, edit, or remove a credentials record. To use a gateway server, select the **Use the following gateway server** check box and choose an appropriate server from the list. You may want to use a gateway server, for example, if your organization has NAT or different types of firewalls, and your access to the internet is limited. You can select any Microsoft Windows or Linux server that is added to your backup infrastructure and has an internet connection. By default, the role of a gateway server is assigned to the machine where Veeam Backup Replication is installed. If you choose not to use a gateway server, make sure that all scale-out repository extents have direct internet access.   #### Step 4 - Specify Object Storage Settings At the **Bucket** step of the wizard, specify the container and folder that will be used to store data: 1. From the **Bucket** drop-down list, select a container. Make sure that the container where you want to store your backup data was created in advance. 2. In the **Select Folder** field, select a cloud folder to which you want to map your object storage repository. To select a folder, click `Browse` and either select an existing folder or create a new one by clicking`New Folder`. To define a soft limit that can be exceeded temporarily for your object storage consumption, select the **Limit object storage consumption to** check box and provide the value in TB or PB.   #### Step 5 - Finish working with the wizard At the **Summary** step of the wizard, complete the object storage repository configuration: - Review details of the object storage repository. - Click `Finish` to exit the wizard.   ## Go further Browse all the [Object Storage (S3™-compatible) guides](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/storage-and-backup/object-storage/landing-page-object-storage.md).
