Introduction

NovaBackup is a computer and server backup tool for individuals and MSPs.  

This guide will walk through the steps to connect your B2 Cloud Storage bucket to NovaBackup.

Guide

1) Navigate to the Device tab.

2) Click Add

3) Select Generic S3 Storage Services then, click OK.

The URL and Keys can be found or generated from your Buckets page and App Keys page, respectively. You may either create a bucket outside of this tool, or you may create a new bucket by entering a name in the Bucket Name field. Please note: The bucket name must be globally unique and all characters must be lowercase.
