Backup & Recovery

AvePoint Opus

AvePoint Opus is a simple backup and recovery tool that keeps your important business files and data safe. It automatically makes copies of your documents, emails, and other work stuff so you can quickly get them back if something gets deleted or goes wrong. It stores all those backup copies in affordable and reliable S3-compatible object storage, which works like a giant digital warehouse that never runs out of space. Using S3 storage lets Opus save huge amounts of data without costing a fortune while keeping everything easily accessible whenever you need to restore it. This combination gives companies peace of mind knowing their information is protected without needing complicated servers or expensive hardware.

Connect AvePoint Opus to DiskSpace.sh

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

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to your AvePoint Opus administration console.
  2. Navigate to the Storage or Backup Destination configuration section.
  3. Select S3 Compatible Storage as the destination type.
  4. Enter the following connection details:
Endpoint URL
Required. Use the exact endpoint above.
Access Key
Enter the Access Key provided by DiskSpace.sh.
Secret Key
Enter the Secret Key provided by DiskSpace.sh.
Region: Leave blank or set to us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests

AvePoint Opus must be configured to use Path Style addressing (not virtual-hosted style). This is a required setting for DiskSpace.sh.

Example URL 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 (or leave empty)
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting Tips
  • • Ensure Path Style is explicitly enabled in AvePoint Opus settings.
  • • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key have the necessary S3 permissions (s3:GetObject, s3:PutObject, s3:ListBucket, etc.).
  • • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • • Confirm there are no trailing slashes in the Endpoint URL.
  • • Check firewall rules and network connectivity to s3.diskspace.sh.
Success: Once saved, test the connection using AvePoint Opus built-in validation tool before running backups.
