Getting Started with JetBackup Storage Bucket in 3 Easy Steps
JetBackup Storage makes it simple to secure your WordPress site. Follow these quick steps to connect your JetBackup Storage Bucket to JetBackup for WordPress:
Method 1 — Set Up JetBackup Storage Using a Quick Access Code (Recommended)
The Quick Access Code is the fastest way to connect your WordPress site to JetBackup Storage. It provisions a new storage bucket (or links an existing one) and configures the destination for you in just a few clicks.
Step 1: Create the Destination
- Open the JetBackup plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Destinations and click Create New Destination.
- Select JetBackup Storage from the destination type dropdown.
- Click the "Claim your free 2GB of Storage now" button. A popup will be displayed.
- Login to your billing.jetbackup.com account. If you have not already done so, you can also create a new account.
Step 2: Order the JetBackup Storage Service
1. Follow the prompts to either provision a new JetBackup Storage bucket or connect an existing one. Be sure to select a geographically close Region to your hosting for best performance.
2. Paste the Quick Access Code and click Save to finish creating the destination.
3. You're done! You can now go to the "Backup Jobs" page and create a new job for your JetBackup Storage destination.
Alternatively, go to "Backup Jobs", Manage the Default Job, and click the Toggle to enable your JetBackup Storage destination. We also recommend enabling a schedule for automated backups!
