IDrive e2 Destination

This page describes the iDrive e2 Destination

Duplicati supports storing files on iDrive e2, which is a large-scale object storage, similar to S3. In iDrive e2 you store "objects" (similar to files) in "buckets" which define various properties shared between the objects. If you use a / in the object prefix, they can be displayed as virtual folders when listing them..

Note that the bucket id is globally unique, so it is recommended using a name that is not likely to conflict with other users, such as prefixing the bucket with the project id or a similar unique value. If you use a simple name, like data or backup it is likely already associated with another project and you will get permission errors when attempting to use it.

Note that iDrive has a similar offering called iDrive Cloud Backup, which is not currently supported by Duplicati.

User interface

To use iDrive e2, you must supply: bucket, path in bucket, access id, and access secret.

If you use the "Test connection" and the bucket does not exist, Duplicati will offer to create it for you.

As the iDrive e2 backend is S3 based, there are many advanced options that can be configured.

URL format for Commandline

To use iDrive e2, you can use the following URL format:

e2://<bucket>/<prefix>
  ?access_key_id=<Access key id>
  &access_secret_key=<Access secret key>
