Backups & restore points · Where backups go

Which bucket should I choose when backing up to bucket storage?

Short answer: Choose one of your existing buckets from the list — the bucket itself, not a folder inside it. Storage Studio creates its own folders there. Create the bucket with your provider first if it isn't listed.

Pick one of your existing buckets from the list Storage Studio shows. It's the bucket itself, not a folder inside it — Storage Studio makes its own folders once it's in there, so you don't need to create any structure.

If you type a name that doesn't exist, you'll see "There's no bucket called … in this account. Pick one from the list." Create the bucket with your storage provider first, then come back and choose it.

A dedicated bucket for backups keeps things tidy, but sharing one is fine: Storage Studio only works inside its own folders.
