DigitalOcean Spaces

Easily leverage your DigitalOcean account into a strong backup storage.

How to connect your DigitalOcean Spaces to SimpleBackups

1. Create your DigitalOcean Spaces

  • Fill in the "Create Spaces" form
  • Pick the region you need (think about GDPR rules, if you're an EU company)
  • Select "Restrict File Listing"
  • Pick a name you like and link it to your DigitalOcean project (doesn't really affect us)

That's it! Your DigitalOcean Spaces is now created.

Don't leave the DigitalOcean interface, we'll now have to create your credentials.

Information you'll need in step 3:

  • Your "Spaces" name, in this case "myacme-space"
  • Your "Spaces" Region, in this case "San Francisco 2", which you can also see in your DO Space url

2. Create your DigitalOcean Credentials

  • Next to Spaces access keys, click Generate New Key then add a name for your key and click the check mark.
  • A new Key and Secret will be generated. The shorter one is the Access Key and the longer one is the Secret Key. Use these two values when adding your DigitalOcean Spaces account to SimpleBackups.
