Hi there,

I’m testing the latest PMM release (2.32.0) and I’m curious what I should set on Backup Location - Endpoint field (when configuring the s3 storage)

Why is it a mandatory field? What url should I add there if my PMM is running outside of AWS?

The PBM CLI doesn’t requite the URL only the bucket name + access key

Thanks

Hello @Adamo_Tonete ,

good question.  
It is and endpoint URL. We support any S3-compatible storage, not only AWS.

You can get AWS endpoints here: [Amazon Simple Storage Service endpoints and quotas - AWS General Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/s3.html)  
For example, for us-east1 you can safely use [https://s3.amazonaws.com](https://s3.amazonaws.com)

But Endpoint is a must for other S3 compatible storages. Like for GCP you will have [https://storage.googleapis.com/](https://storage.googleapis.com/) and for DigitalOcean [https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com](https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)

We can think of defaulting to AWS S3, but not sure if it is wise. cc @Roma_Novikov

Thank you Sergey.

That worked!

I’d say a tooltip with the default values would be okay on pmm… or even a selection list with other option to “other” for non default ones like minIO…

Maybe also add an note on [Backup and restore - Percona Monitoring and Management](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/using/backup.html), I will try to submit an PR later.

Again, thank you.
