Where are my backups stored?

Storage on Datashelter (default)​

At Datashelter, the security, privacy, and reliability of your data are top priorities. By default, backups are stored on OVHcloud infrastructure, which provides multiple availability zones across:

  • France 🇫🇷 — Gravelines
  • Germany 🇩🇪 — Frankfurt
  • Poland 🇵🇱 — Warsaw
  • United Kingdom 🇬🇧 — London
  • Canada 🇨🇦 — Beauharnois

This partnership with OVHcloud ensures storage that is secure, performant, and aligned with European requirements, while delivering high availability at a controlled cost.

Use your own S3 bucket​

Datashelter is fully compatible with the S3 protocol. If you prefer, you can configure your own S3 bucket to store your backups.

This lets you:

  • choose the physical location of your data (region, provider, on-prem, etc.);
  • retain full control over the storage layer;
  • integrate Datashelter with your cloud infrastructure or existing backup system.

By connecting your own S3 bucket, you retain total control over the location and management of your backups—while benefiting from the flexibility and security of the Datashelter platform.
