When you connect a storage to SimpleBackups and create a backup job, there are multiple ways you can customize the backup destination (storage path).
On the storage level (Dropbox, S3, SFTP, etc..) you can set a path where all backup jobs can be stored under.
On the backup job level, you can set a path for a particular backup job.
→The final path of a backup job is: storagePath/backupPath
Let us take a few examples into consideration.
Assuming you created a Dropbox storage (called STOR1) and created a database backup job (called BACKUP1) that uses Dropbox as a storage.
Example 1 (no path on Storage and Backup)
Set no default path on STOR1
Set no backup storage path on BACKUP1
The resulting backup will be stored at a unique location
Apps/SimpleBackups.io/SXXXX/mybackup-file.sql
Example 2 (custom storage path, empty backup path)
Set a default path on STOR1,
my-backupsSet no backup storage path on BACKUP1
The resulting backup will be stored at:
Apps/SimpleBackups.io/my-backups/mybackup-file.sql
Example 3 (custom storage path, custom backup path)
Set a default path on STOR1,
my-backupsSet a default backup storage path on BACKUP1,
database/dailyThe resulting backup will be stored at:
Apps/SimpleBackups.io/my-backups/database/daily/mybackup-file.sql
