   For more information on the supported storage class types, refer S3 storage classes.

5. Click Add.

note

Update Stork deployment spec with add hostNetwork: true and wait for the Stork pods to restart before you take a backup (on S3 object store-based backup location and not for NFS backup locations) in OpenShift Cluster Platform (OCP) on cloud like ARO, ROSA, and ROKS on AWS/S3 compatible object store environments.
