    Integrate HashBackup with IDrive® e2

    HashBackup is a command-line backup tool that secures, deduplicates, compresses, and encrypts data for local or remote storage, ensuring only the user controls the encryption key. It supports incremental backups, efficient storage management, and flexible retention policies across multiple platforms. Integrating HashBackup with IDrive® e2 pairs these capabilities with a capable and scalable cloud object storage solution that facilitates systematic integration for secure, reliable, and space-efficient backups.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, ensure the following:

    1. An active IDrive® e2 account. Sign up here if you do not have one.
    2. A bucket in IDrive® e2. See how to create a bucket.
    3. Valid Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Learn how to create an access key.
    4. A valid HashBackup account.

    Configure HashBackup with IDrive® e2

    1. Create an IDrive® e2-specific config file for use with HashBackup. Below is a sample file. 

      destname idrivee2
      type s3
      host <idrive-e2-s3-endpoint> (Ex: v1e8.da.idrivee2-17.com)
      location US
      accesskey your_idrivee2_access_key
      secretkey your_idrivee2_secret_key
      bucket your_preferred_bucket_name
      dir your_preferred_directory
      class standard

    2. Once the config file is created, you can then operate HashBackup in the usual manner as described in the HashBackup instructions.

    Note: Data restoration is handled by your specific backup solution provider and is affected by multiple variables that are unique to your environment. For application-related enquiries/support, it is strongly recommended you seek guidance from the technical team of your backup solution provider.
