Cherry Studio data backup supports backing up data via S3 compatible storage (object storage). Common S3 compatible storage services include: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Alibaba Cloud OSS, Tencent Cloud COS, and MinIO, among others.

Multi-terminal data synchronization can be achieved based on S3 compatible storage in the following way: A PC $\xrightarrow{\text{Backup}}$ S3 Storage $\xrightarrow{\text{Restore}}$ B PC.

Configure S3 Compatible Storage

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

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

   • Endpoint: The access address for S3 compatible storage, typically 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, such as us-west-1, ap-southeast-1, etc. For Cloudflare R2, please enter auto.

   • Bucket: The name of the bucket.

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

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