S3-compatible Storage Backup

Cherry Studio data backups support backing up via S3-compatible storage (object storage). Common S3-compatible storage services include: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Alibaba Cloud OSS, Tencent Cloud COS, and MinIO, etc.

Based on S3-compatible storage you can achieve Computer A $\xrightarrow{\text{备份}}$ S3 storage $\xrightarrow{\text{恢复}}$ Computer B to implement multi-end data synchronization.

Configure S3-compatible storage

1. Create an object storage bucket and record the bucket name.It is strongly recommended to set the bucket to private read/write to avoid backup data leakage!!

2. Refer to the documentation and go to the cloud service console to obtain the S3-compatible storage Access Key ID,Secret Access Key,Endpoint,Bucket,Region and other information.

   • Endpoint：The access address for S3-compatible storage, usually in the form of https://<bucket-name>.<region>.amazonaws.com or https://<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com.

   • Region：The region where the bucket is located, for example us-west-1,ap-southeast-1 etc., for Cloudflare R2 please enter auto.

   • Access Key ID and Secret Access Key：Credentials used for authentication.

   • Root Path：Optional, specify the root path when backing up to the bucket, defaults to empty.
