# Alibaba Cloud OSS

## Overview

Alibaba Cloud is an S3-compatible backup provider. Configuration as a backup destination is similar to AWS S3.

## Example

After logging in, go to the Object Storage Service and create a new bucket.

Provide necessary details for your bucket and enable versioning.

Now go to the Backup destination tab on the Storware Backup & Recovery dashboard and change the sub-tab to object storage. Provide the bucket name and key credentials, and then configure the remaining options according to your requirements:
