# 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.

### Where can I find the option to configure the AutoRABIT Vault storage environment? <a href="#where-can-i-find-the-option-to-configure-the-vault-storage-environment" id="where-can-i-find-the-option-to-configure-the-vault-storage-environment"></a>

You can configure the storage environment under the **Settings > Backup Environment** tab.

### How to configure AutoRABIT Vault Environment? <a href="#how-to-configure-vault-environment" id="how-to-configure-vault-environment"></a>

1. Log in to your **AutoRABIT Vault** account.
2. Go to the **Settings** module and click on the **Backup Environment** tab.
3. Every time a new user is registered with AutoRABIT Vault. While setting up the account, during the initial configuration of the storage, the following checks will be done to make sure everything on the storage end is set up and in place. This ensures that the AutoRABIT Vault application will be utilized by the user seamlessly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
