Backup & Recovery

Arcserve

Arcserve is a popular backup and data protection software that keeps copies of your important files and systems safe. It automatically makes backups of your computers, servers, and databases so you can quickly recover everything if something gets lost, damaged, or hacked. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a secure, affordable place to keep these backup copies in the cloud. This means your data is stored reliably across many locations, making it easier and faster to restore large amounts of information when needed. By using S3 storage, Arcserve helps businesses save money on hardware while still getting enterprise-level protection and peace of mind.

Connecting Arcserve to DiskSpace.sh (S3-compatible storage)

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

Credential Fields
Must include https://
Can be left empty or set to us-east-1
Important: DiskSpace.sh requires Path Style Requests. Arcserve must be configured to use path-style URLs in the format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/your-bucket-name/
Troubleshooting Tips:
  • • Ensure "Use Path Style" or "Force Path Style" is enabled in Arcserve settings
  • • Verify your Endpoint URL does not contain a bucket name
  • • Confirm your Access Key and Secret Key are active in the DiskSpace.sh console
  • • Try region value "us-east-1" if connection fails with an empty region
  • • Check that firewall or proxy settings are not blocking the endpoint
Success: Once configured, test the connection using Arcserve's built-in validation tool before running backups.
