# Configure Backup Environment

### Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The administrator must first set up the AutoRABIT Vault environment before working on backup/restore or other AutoRABIT Vault features. This helps you to create a backup of the data/metadata in the storage environment and restore it if necessary. AutoRABIT Vault supports a variety of environments, including Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure Blob, and AutoRABIT Vault's default hosted environment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/vault/configuring-vault/configure-backup-environment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
