SimpleBackups

SimpleBackups is a straightforward online service that automatically makes copies of your important files, databases, and websites. It quietly watches your data and creates fresh backups on a schedule so you never lose your work if something goes wrong. It stores all those backup copies in S3-compatible object storage, which is like a super-reliable digital warehouse that keeps your files safe and lets you retrieve them anytime. Because S3 storage is cheap and can hold massive amounts of data, you can keep many versions of your backups without worrying about running out of space or paying high fees. This combination gives regular people and small businesses enterprise-level protection without needing to be tech experts or manage complicated servers.

Connect SimpleBackups to DiskSpace.sh

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

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to your SimpleBackups dashboard and navigate to the backup destination setup.
  2. Select S3 Compatible Storage as the destination type.
  3. Fill in the credentials as shown below.

Required Credentials
Path Style Requests

DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs. SimpleBackups must use the format:

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

Do not use virtual-hosted style (bucket.s3.diskspace.sh).
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting
  • • Ensure you are using https://s3.diskspace.sh (not s3.diskspace.sh without protocol)
  • • Confirm Path Style is turned ON in SimpleBackups settings
  • • Region can be left blank or set to us-east-1
  • • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key have full S3 permissions
  • • Check that your bucket name is correctly entered without extra slashes
