Do you have an S3 bucket in a personal AWS account? Customers can link their personal buckets to their Pagely account and dual route a copy of their daily WordPress backups to accrue in both places. This allows you to store your backups for as long as you’d like, beyond our 14 day retention policy.
Note: Additionally, for a small fee, Pagely can create and manage an extended backup storage S3 bucket for you.
Regardless of how many sites you’re hosting with us, only a single Amazon S3 account is required. You would just need to Create An IAM User for Pagely. There will be subfolders for each site within the S3 bucket you grant us access to.
In order to initiate this, follow our step by step guide on how to create an Amazon S3 bucket, then open a ticket with support and provide the following details:
- S3 secret
- S3 key
- Bucket name
- Region for bucket location (Amazon Regions)
The team will update your backup configuration to use your Amazon S3 bucket.
