Backup & Recovery

Actifio

Actifio is a backup and recovery tool that makes copies of your important business data and applications. It works like a smart safety net that quickly snapshots your files, databases, and virtual machines so you can restore them fast if something goes wrong. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a super-cheap, reliable vault to keep all those backup copies without needing expensive hardware. By sending backups straight to S3, Actifio saves companies a lot of money while still letting them recover data in minutes instead of hours or days. This combination gives businesses peace of mind knowing their information is safely stored and easy to bring back when they need it.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below

Connect Actifio to DiskSpace.sh (S3-compatible storage)

DiskSpace.sh is fully S3 API compatible and requires path-style addressing. Follow the steps below to configure your Actifio backup target.

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to the Actifio appliance or Actifio GO console as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Cloud Connectors or Backup Targets.
  3. Click Add Target and select S3 Compatible storage.
  4. Fill in the connection details as shown below.
  5. Save and test the connection.
Required Credentials
Use the exact endpoint shown above.
Can be left empty or set to us-east-1.
Path-Style Requests Required

DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs. Actifio must be configured to use path-style addressing (not virtual-hosted style).

Example format:

https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: ****************************************
Region: us-east-1
Path Style: Enabled
Bucket: your-bucket-name
Troubleshooting Tips
  • Ensure the endpoint does not contain a bucket name.
  • Verify that "Use Path Style" or "Force Path Style" is enabled in Actifio.
  • Check that your IAM/user policy allows s3:ListBucket, s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject, and s3:DeleteObject.
  • If connection fails, try region value us-east-1 or leave it blank.
  • Confirm network connectivity and firewall rules allow outbound HTTPS (port 443) to s3.diskspace.sh.
