# Plesk

Plesk can store server and website backups in a Zata bucket. You use the **Amazon S3 Backup** extension with a custom (S3-compatible) service provider.

## Before you start

* A bucket for the backups, for example `plesk-backups`. See [Create a bucket](/buckets/create-a-bucket).
* An access key from the same region as the bucket. See [Access keys](/access/access-keys).
* Admin access to Plesk (usually `https://your-server:8443`).

#### Enter the Zata details

Tick **Use the storage** and fill in the fields from the table above. Click **OK**. If Plesk can connect, the storage is saved.

## Test it

In **Backup Manager**, click **Back Up**. Under **Store in**, choose **Custom (Minio, OpenStack, etc.)** (or both server storage and custom storage) and click **OK**. When the backup finishes, check that the backup files are in your bucket in the Zata console. Then restore one item from that backup in **Backup Manager**.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                                           | Fix                                                                                                                          |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Saving the settings fails                                         | Check that **Service provider** is **Custom (Minio, OpenStack, etc.)** and **API Endpoint URL** matches the bucket's region. |
| Access denied or invalid credentials                              | Copy the keys again from **Access Keys** and check that the key can use the bucket.                                          |
| **Amazon S3 Backup** is missing under **Remote Storage Settings** | Install the extension first.                                                                                                 |
