# Specifying Settings for S3 Compatible Repository

If you have selected to import backup from an S3 Compatible storage repository, specify settings to connect to the storage:

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

## Specifying Account Settings {#storage}

The **Account** step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to import backup from an S3 compatible storage repository.

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

1. In the **Service point** field, specify the address of your S3 compatible storage.

   If you want to connect to the repository using an IPv6 address and port number, you must use the following format: `IPv6:port`, where:

   - `IPv6` is the IPv6 address of the object storage.
   - `port` is the number of the port that Veeam Agent will use to connect to the object storage.

   For example: `https://2001-db8-1--bb8-c0b8-112.ipv6-literal.net:9000`

   If you want to connect to the repository using AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3, use the following format: `bucket.<VPC_endpoint_ID>.s3.<region>.vpce.amazonaws.com`, where:

   - `VPC_endpoint_ID` is the unique VPC endpoint ID that Veeam Agent will use to access the cloud storage.
   - `region` is the AWS Region where the VPC endpoint and the S3 bucket are located.

   For example: `bucket.vpce-0abc123def456ghi7-01234567.s3.ap-northeast-1.vpce.amazonaws.com`

   To learn more about AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3, see [AWS Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/privatelink-interface-endpoints.html#accessing-bucket-and-aps-from-interface-endpoints).

2. In the **Region** field, specify a storage region based on your regulatory and compliance requirements. 
3. In the **Access key** field, enter an access key ID.
4. In the **Secret key** field, enter a secret access key.
