ActiveImage Manager

ActiveImage Manager is a simple backup and recovery tool that takes snapshots of your entire computer or important files. It creates safety copies of your data so you can quickly restore everything if your hard drive crashes, gets infected, or you accidentally delete something important. It automatically sends these backup images to affordable S3-compatible object storage in the cloud instead of filling up your local drives. Using S3 storage gives you practically unlimited space that grows as you need it, while keeping your backups safe and accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. This combination means small businesses and regular users get enterprise-level protection without buying expensive hardware or worrying about running out of backup room.

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 ActiveImage Manager to DiskSpace.sh

DiskSpace.sh is a fully S3 API compatible object storage service. Follow the steps below to configure your connection using path-style addressing.

Connection Steps
  1. Open ActiveImage Manager and navigate to the backup destination or storage configuration section.
  2. Select Amazon S3 Compatible Storage as the destination type.
  3. Enter the following connection details:
Full endpoint provided by DiskSpace.sh
Region: Leave empty or set to us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests Required

DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs (not virtual-hosted style). The correct format is:

https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Use Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting
  • Ensure "Use Path Style" or "Force Path Style" option is enabled in ActiveImage Manager.
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key have the necessary IAM permissions (s3:GetObject, s3:PutObject, s3:ListBucket, etc.).
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • Confirm your bucket name does not contain dots (.) if using path-style requests.
  • Check that the Endpoint URL does not include a trailing slash.
Tip: After successful connection, test by creating a small test backup to verify write access to your bucket.
Configured for DiskSpace.sh • S3-compatible storage with mandatory path-style requests
