qBackup

qBackup is a simple and reliable backup program that helps regular people protect their important files and folders. It automatically makes copies of your documents, photos, and other data so you can get them back if your computer crashes or files get deleted. It stores these backup copies in affordable cloud storage services that follow the S3 standard. Using S3-compatible storage lets qBackup keep your backups safe, spread across multiple locations, and easily accessible from anywhere without needing expensive dedicated servers. This approach makes backups both budget-friendly and trustworthy for home users and small businesses who want peace of mind without complexity.

Connection / Setup

  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

Connect qBackup to DiskSpace.sh

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

Connection Steps
  1. Open qBackup and navigate to the S3 storage configuration section.
  2. Select "Custom S3 Provider" or "Generic S3" as the storage type.
  3. Enter the following connection details:
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: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting
  • Ensure "Use Path Style" or "Force Path Style" is enabled in qBackup settings.
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key have the necessary S3 permissions.
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • Check that your firewall allows outbound HTTPS traffic to s3.diskspace.sh.
