Remote destination
Configure S3-compatible storage for WordPress backups.
S3-compatible storage lets you use providers such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare R2 or other object storage services that expose an S3-style API.
What you need
- Provider endpoint URL.
- Bucket name.
- Access key and secret key.
- Region, if required by the provider.
- Optional path prefix for the WordPress site.
Configuration Steps
- Create a bucket in your object storage provider.
- Create access credentials for that bucket.
- Copy the endpoint URL exactly as provided.
- Open StifLi Backup Tools > Remote Destinations.
- Select S3-compatible storage.
- Enter endpoint, bucket, region, access key, secret key and path.
- Save the destination and test the connection.
- Run a manual backup and verify the archive in the provider console.
Common Provider Fields
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | The API host for the provider, usually starting with https://. |
| Bucket | The object storage bucket that will hold backup archives. |
| Region | Some providers require it; others accept a default region value. |
| Path prefix | A folder-like prefix such as client/site-name. |
Troubleshooting
- If connection fails, check endpoint spelling and whether the bucket region matches the credentials.
- If upload fails after connection succeeds, review bucket permissions for object creation.
- If deletion fails, confirm the credentials can delete old backups or lower retention manually.
