S3 compatibility
Everabyte offers S3-compatible APIs for custom backup solutions and S3-compatible tools. Configuration details are documented on docs.everabyte.com.
If you already use tools built for the S3 protocol, Everabyte offers S3-compatible APIs that let you connect those tools to your storage. This capability is presented on Everabyte’s backup and archiving solution pages, and is aimed in particular at custom backup solutions.
In short
Everabyte offers S3-compatible APIs for custom backup solutions and tools that are already S3-compatible. You can point your usual S3 tooling at your Everabyte storage with your Everabyte credentials; configuration details are documented at docs.everabyte.com.
What S3 compatibility means for developers
S3 compatibility means you can build on the existing tool ecosystem instead of rewriting your integration: S3-compatible tools — backup solutions, archiving software, in-house scripts — can be configured to communicate with your Everabyte storage using your Everabyte credentials.
Note — This article does not publish configuration values: the exact settings to use (credentials, tool-specific options) are documented at [docs.everabyte.com](https://docs.everabyte.com).
Typical use cases
- custom backup solutions built on the S3 protocol;
- archiving tools and S3-compatible software already deployed in your organization;
- automation scripts written for the S3 protocol that you want to reuse.
Configuration
Configuration happens on the tool side: you point your S3-compatible solution at your Everabyte storage with your Everabyte credentials. The precise steps — values to enter, any constraints — are described in the developer documentation: docs.everabyte.com.
Tip — Before switching production backups over, test your configuration on a test-only bucket to confirm that your tool connects and transfers correctly.
