Hi, I have deployed **Percona Server for MongoDB** on Kubernetes and am using the following code for backups. However, I’m encountering an error during the backup process when i am giving bucket path. When I use a simple bucket name like **`mongodb-backup`** , the backup works fine.

Is it possible to specify a **bucket path** instead of just the bucket name? If so, could you provide an example of how to configure it correctly?

````auto
storages:
      mongo-daily-backup:
        s3:
          bucket: devops/integration/mongodb/mongo-daily-backup
          credentialsSecret: mongodb-mongo-db-secrets-c8b7f20e
          endpointUrl: https://4b949bcf987231b504ca149.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
          region: us-east-1
        type: s3```

Hello @Aditya1523

I don’t know if this can help you but I had an identical problem to yours at the beginning. I gave:

- `endpointUrl` in the format `https://xxxx-mongo-backup-logical.s3.fr-par.xxx.xxxx`
- `bucket` in the format `directory/xxx/yyyy`

Afterwards I understood that it was necessary to do :

- `endpointUrl` different `https://s3.fr-par.xxx.xxxx`
- `bucket` in the format `xxxxx-mongo-backup-logical`

In the end here is the format that currently works :

```auto
...
  storages:
    s3-xxx-fr-par-logical:
      type: s3
      s3:
        region: "fr-par"
        bucket: "xxxx-mongo-backup-logical"
        endpointUrl: "https://s3.fr-par.xxx.xxxx"
        credentialsSecret: pbm-mongo-backup-s3
        uploadPartSize: 268435456
...

```

Note that: `bucket` for me is a name/ID of bucket, but not a name of directory in bucket  
And after in my bucket i have backup by date is directory :

Hi, you can use the [prefix option](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-mongodb/operator.html#backupstoragesstorage-names3prefix) of the crd to specify the path inside the bucket.
