You must create the bucket where you want to store your backup data beforehand. When you create a bucket, consider Amazon bucket naming rules. It is not recommended that you use dots (.) in the bucket name. For more information on bucket naming rules, see AWS Documentation.

  1. In the Folder field, enter a cloud folder name to which you want to map your object storage repository. Alternatively, click Browse and either select an existing folder or click New Folder.
