# Manage Backup Storage

Learn how to configure and manage storage options for your backups in Cloudback, including Cloudback Managed and Customer Managed Storage solutions.

Cloudback allows you to set up a backup storage for your repositories. The backup storage defines where the backups should be stored. This page will guide you through the process of setting up a backup storage for your repositories.

## Setting Up a Backup Storage

Follow these steps to set up a backup storage for your repositories:

1. Go to the [Cloudback Dashboard](https://app.cloudback.it/).
2. Open the repository details page for the repository you want to set up a backup storage for.
3. In the **Settings** section, locate the `Storage` combobox and choose the storage you want to save the backups to:

![Repository backup storage](https://2781059148-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEI7SjBF2CddqNXZpCoE%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-78ed38011f2d6710eb9180d4a8cca90cb9a2a31c%2Fbackup-storage.png?alt=media)

4. Click the **Save** button to save the changes.

You can update a storage for multiple repositories at once using the [Bulk Operations](/managing-backups/bulk-operations.md).

## Supported Storages

Cloudback supports the following storages:

* **Cloudback Managed Storages**: These are the storages managed by Cloudback. Learn more about [Cloudback Managed Storages](/storage-configuration/cloudback-managed-storages.md).
* **Customer Managed Storages**: These are the storages managed by you, and you can set up your own storage for your backups. Learn more about [Customer Managed Storages](/storage-configuration/customer-managed-storages.md).

When setting up a backup storage, you can choose from the list of Cloudback Managed Storages or set up your own Customer Managed Storage. Both types of storages are available in the Storage combobox.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cloudback.it/managing-backups/manage-backup-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
