DreamHost DreamObjects is a cost-effective US-based cloud storage service for secure off-site data protection. Retrospect 11 for Windows and Retrospect 13 for Mac are certified for DreamHost DreamObjects. Follow these step-by-step instructions for setting up a DreamHost account, configuring a storage location (called a "bucket"), and creating a set of security credentials (an Access Key and a Secret Key, similar to a username and password).
Special Deal – 20% off on storage up to 2TB. See DreamHost DreamObjects for Retrospect.
Visit DreamHost to start the account creation process and click "Try if Free for 30 Days".
Fill in an email address and a password.
Confirm the free trial plan.
Complete the contact details and billing details.
The new account is created. You’re ready to set up the storage location.
Now we will create a bucket that Retrospect can use to store backups.
Navigate to the DreamObjects section.
2 . Click "Create New User". Type in a username, and click "Add User"
DreamHost will begin creating your new user. When it’s done, you’ll see it along with your new Access Key.
Click "Add Bucket". Type in a bucket name. Note that these are globally-unique names. Click "Add Bucket".
Your new bucket is now created and ready to use. In Retrospect, the "Path" is objects-us-west-1.dream.io/your_bucket_name
.
You’re ready to use Retrospect. You now have a bucket location, an Access Key, and a Secret Key (shown when you click "Show Secret Key").
Retrospect needs three pieces of information to access DreamHost:
Path – objects-us-west-1.dream.io/your_bucket_name
Access Key – Use the Access Key from above.
Secret Key – Use the Secret Key from above.
Adicionar armazenamento em nuvem como um destino é simples. O Retrospect tem um novo tipo de conjunto chamado "Cloud". Crie um novo conjunto de backup / conjunto de mídias e selecione "Cloud" como o tipo.

Usar o armazenamento em nuvem é simples. Depois de criar um conjunto de nuvens, crie um novo script ou adicione-o a um existente e clique em "Executar". O backup começará com o conteúdo do conjunto sendo carregado para o local de armazenamento na nuvem. Você pode acompanhar o progresso na execução / atividade.
