Configure Backup Environment

Overview

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

Where can I find the option to configure the Vault storage environment?

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

How to configure Vault Environment?

1. Log in to your Vault account.
2. Go to the Settings module and click on the Backup Environment tab.
3. Under Storage Environment, select the Storage Type from the drop-down. As of now, Vault supports the following storage types:
   • Amazon AWS S3 Storage
   • NFS
   • Azure Blob
   • GCP (Google Cloud Platform), and 
   • SAN (Storage Area Network) environments.
