Backup Destinations
Before you can create backups, you need at least one storage destination. ServerPlane supports two destination types: S3-compatible object storage and SFTP servers.
Adding a Destination
- Navigate to Backups > Destinations from the sidebar.
- Click Add Destination.
- Enter a Name for the destination (e.g., "Production S3 Bucket").
- Select the Type: S3 / S3-Compatible or SFTP.
- Fill in the required fields (see below).
- Click Create Destination.
S3 / S3-Compatible Storage
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint | The S3 API endpoint. Use s3.amazonaws.com for AWS. For Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO, or other providers, use their respective endpoint. |
s3.amazonaws.com |
| Region | The bucket's region. | us-east-1 |
| Bucket | The name of the S3 bucket. | my-backups |
| Path Prefix | Optional subfolder path within the bucket. | backups |
| Access Key | Your IAM access key ID. | AKIA... |
| Secret Key | Your IAM secret access key. | (hidden) |
SFTP Storage
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Host | Hostname or IP address of the SFTP server. | backup.example.com |
| Port | SSH port number (defaults to 22). | 22 |
| Username | The SFTP user to authenticate as. | backup_user |
| Password | Password for the SFTP user. | (hidden) |
| Remote Path | Absolute path on the remote server where backups will be stored. | /backups |
Testing a Connection
After creating a destination, click the checkmark icon next to it to test the connection. ServerPlane will attempt to connect and verify write access. A successful test marks the destination as Verified with a green badge.
Editing a Destination
Click the pencil icon next to any destination to open its settings for editing. Update the fields you need and click Update Destination.
Deleting a Destination
- Click the trash icon next to the destination.
- A confirmation prompt will appear. Click Delete to confirm.
Deleting a destination does not remove any backup data already stored at that location. However, any backup configurations that reference this destination will no longer be able to run.
Destination List
The destinations list shows each entry with its type (S3 or SFTP), key identifier (bucket name or host), the number of backup configurations using it, and its verification status.
