Add a Tencent Cloud Object Storage Backup Location in Portworx Backup

You can add a Tencent Cloud Object storage (TCOS) backup location in Portworx Backup. TTCOS provides an S3 compatible storage service for distributed environments. Portworx Backup allows you to add a COS bucket as a backup location allowing you to directly use the COS service.

Prerequisites​

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you add a TCOS backup location in Portworx Backup:

  • Create a cloud account and activate the COS service to prepare the COS service.
  • Prepare the APPID and access key to add COS cloud account in Portworx Backup.
  • Create a bucket in COS.
  • Create an S3 compatible object store cloud account in Portworx Backup. For more information to add an AWS/S3 compatible object store cloud account, see Add an AWS/S3 cloud account for

Procedure​

To add a TCOS backup location, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Portworx Backup UI.
  2. From the left navigation pane, click the Cloud Settings icon and select the Backup Locations tab.

    • Name: specify the name for the backup location, Portworx Backup displays this name as backup location name in the web console
    • Cloud Account: choose the S3 compatible cloud account (you created in Step 1) this backup location will use to create backups.
    • Path / Bucket: specify the path of the bucket or the name of the bucket that this backup location will place backups into
    • Encryption key (Optional): enter the optional encryption key to encrypt your backups in-transit. For more information on encryption support, refer Encryption matrix.

    • Region: with the name of your AWS/S3 compatible object store cloud account region.
    • Endpoint: with the URL of your cloud storage server or provider.
    • Disable SSL: select this option if your on-premises S3-compliant object store does not support SSL/TLS.
