2a. In the account setup window:

  • Set Account Type to S3 Compatible Storage
  • Enter the following credentials provided by your storage provider:- Access Key ID- Secret Access Key
  • Set the REST Endpoint to: eu-west-2.storage.jetbackup.com
  • Click Save



Once saved, your available buckets will appear in the left panel.

Step 3: Locate Your Backup Bucket
After connecting your account:

  • Select the bucket that contains your backups from the left panel.
  • Expand the bucket to view the folder structure.


    You should now see the folders and objects stored inside your bucket.

    Step 4: Calculate the Bucket or Folder Size
    To check the storage usage:
  • Navigate to the folder you want to analyze (for example, the root backup directory or a specific backup folder).
  • Right-click the folder.
  • Select Properties.



S3 Browser will begin calculating the total size of the selected folder.
The size calculation will update progressively as objects are scanned.

Note:
The calculation typically completes within about 15 seconds, but it may take longer if the bucket contains a large number of objects.


Additional Notes
  • This process does not modify any files when used only for viewing properties.
  • Calculating folder size can take longer if your bucket contains a large number of backup objects.
  • Be cautious when using any third-party S3 tools to avoid accidental changes to stored backups.
