Configuration

* Access Key

* Endpoint URL (for S3-compatible providers)
ZATA storage is selected by default.
External services
This plugin can connect to an external S3-compatible object storage service in order to upload your backup archives (database export and optional theme/plugin archives).
Service used:
– An S3-compatible object storage endpoint configured by the site administrator.
– By default, the plugin is pre-filled for ZATA (S3-compatible storage). The administrator can change the endpoint to another provider.
What data is sent and when:
– When you click “Test Connection”, the plugin performs a read/write/delete test object in the configured bucket.
– When you run a backup (manual or scheduled), the plugin uploads the generated backup archive files to the configured bucket.
Data transmitted to the storage service:
– Bucket name, object key/path prefix, file contents of the backup archives.
– Request metadata required by the S3 API (timestamps, content hash) and an authorization signature (AWS Signature Version 4).
– Your secret key is used locally to create the request signature and is not sent as plain text.
Conditions:
– Transfers occur only if remote storage is configured and you initiate a test/backup (or enable scheduling).
– You can disable remote uploads by clearing the endpoint/bucket/keys.
Terms and privacy:
– If you use ZATA, please review the service terms and privacy policy:
– Terms: https://zata.ai/zataprivacypolicies.pdf
– Privacy: https://zata.ai/zataprivacypolicies.pdf
– If you use another S3-compatible provider, refer to that provider’s terms and privacy policy.
