# Cloudian S3

## Overview

Cloudian is an S3-compatible backup provider. Configuration as the backup destination is similar to AWS S3.

## Example

After logging in, create a new bucket for your backups

![](/files/mL9GcDv1Gb3ysksvvlG8)

Next, go to security credentials and generate a new access key.

![](/files/iMAoMoMQQvbC5Mo96yDB)

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. Also, enable `Path style access enabled` option:
