Ahsay

Ahsay is a popular backup software that helps businesses and individuals automatically protect their important files, databases, and entire computers. It quietly makes copies of your data every day so you can recover everything quickly if a computer crashes, gets hacked, or a file gets accidentally deleted. It connects directly to affordable S3-compatible object storage to keep your backups safe off-site without needing expensive hardware. By storing your backup data in these simple cloud buckets, Ahsay makes sure your information stays protected even if your office burns down or gets flooded. This combination gives you enterprise-grade protection at a very reasonable price while keeping everything easy to manage through one central console.

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 Ahsay 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 Ahsay backup tool.

Connection Steps:
  1. Log in to your Ahsay backup console.
  2. Navigate to Backup Storage > Add or edit an existing S3-compatible destination.
  3. Select Amazon S3 Compatible Storage as the storage type.
  4. Fill in the credential fields exactly as shown below.
  5. Ensure Path Style is enabled (required for DiskSpace.sh).
  6. Leave Region empty or set it to us-east-1.
  7. Save and test the connection.
Credential Fields
Endpoint URL https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key Your DiskSpace.sh Access Key
Secret Key Your DiskSpace.sh Secret Key
Region us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Path Style Requirement
DiskSpace.sh requires Path Style requests. Ahsay must use URLs in this format:

https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key

Do NOT use virtual-hosted style (bucket.s3.diskspace.sh).
Example Configuration
Endpoint: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting Tips
  • Ensure you are using the exact endpoint https://s3.diskspace.sh (no trailing slash).
  • Confirm that "Use Path Style" or "Force Path Style" is checked in Ahsay settings.
  • Try region value us-east-1 if connection fails with an empty region.
  • Check that your Access Key and Secret Key are active and have full S3 permissions.
  • Verify your bucket name does not contain unsupported characters.
