Backup & Recovery

Rubrik

Rubrik is a modern data protection platform that acts like a smart backup system for companies. It automatically makes copies of your important files, databases, and virtual machines so you can quickly recover them if something gets deleted, corrupted, or hit by ransomware. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a safe, scalable, and inexpensive place to keep these backup copies for the long term. By storing data in S3 buckets, Rubrik can easily expand storage as your company grows without buying expensive hardware. This approach gives fast recovery when you need it while keeping costs low and protecting your information with built-in security features.

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 Rubrik to DiskSpace.sh (S3-compatible storage)

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

Connection Steps:
  1. Log in to your Rubrik cluster as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Object Storage (or Archival / External Storage depending on your Rubrik version).
  3. Click Add Object Store or Add Archival Location.
  4. Select S3 Compatible as the storage type.
  5. Fill in the connection details as shown below.
Required Credentials
  • 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 empty)
Bucket Configuration
Use the exact bucket name provided by DiskSpace.sh. Do not include the endpoint in the bucket field.
Path Style Requests (Required)

Rubrik must use path-style URLs when communicating with DiskSpace.sh. The correct format is:

https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Important: Virtual-hosted style (bucket.s3.diskspace.sh) is not supported. Ensure Rubrik is configured for path-style addressing.
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key ID: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key:    your-secret-key-here
Region:        us-east-1
Bucket Name:   my-rubrik-backups
Path Style:    Enabled
Troubleshooting Tips
  • If connection fails, verify you are using https://s3.diskspace.sh (no trailing slash).
  • Confirm the Access Key and Secret Key are copied correctly with no extra spaces.
  • Try setting Region to us-east-1 if leaving it blank causes issues.
  • Ensure the IAM user or account has s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject, and s3:ListBucket permissions on the target bucket.
  • Check Rubrik logs for detailed error messages if the connection test fails.
