# Specifying Settings for Amazon S3 Repository

If you have selected to store backup files on an Amazon S3 storage, specify settings to connect to the storage:

1. [Specify account settings](#storage).
2. [Specify bucket settings](#bucket).

To connect to the Amazon S3 storage, specify the following:

2. In the **Secret key** field, enter a secret access key.
3. In the **AWS region** window, select an AWS region based on your regulatory and compliance requirements. By default, Veeam Agent uses the **Global** region.
