# OpenStack SWIFT

Storware Backup & Recovery supports integration with OpenStack SWIFT.

## Example

In the Storware Backup & Recovery system, go to the `Backup Destinations` -> `Object Storage` tab, then press the `Create Backup Destination` button and select the `OpenStack Swift` option.

Enter the name of the new backup destination, assign it to `Node Configuration` and set up the retention.

Next, provide settings specific to `OpenStack Swift`:

* Authentication URL - URL pointing to authentication service, it should be similar to the following

  ```
  https://SWIFT_HOST:5000/v3/auth/tokens
  ```
* User name - domain formatted username used by Storware Backup & Recovery to log into OpenStack Swift
* Authentication method - BASIC / TEMPAUTH / KEYSTONE / KEYSTONE\_V3
  * in the case of KEYSTONE\_V3 authentication method, you also need to enter `Authentication method scope`, `Domain` and `Project`
* Name of Swift service intended to be used
* Number of thread used (Swift connector supports multithreading)
* Endpoint interface type - type of interface used by connector (PUBLIC / INTERNAL / ADMIN)
