Heya, @3f5b44876a3743a883a57d65cecba5
You can use the DigitalOcean Spaces to backup your data. Here’s an article which you can check on how to setup this.

Hi,
Spaces doesn’t support Droplet style backups because that system is built for block storage snapshots, not object storage. Spaces is S3 compatible and already handles durability internally, so it isn’t part of the snapshot pipeline.
If you want backups for your objects, the common approach is to sync your Space to another Space or a different provider. This guide walks through that workflow in detail: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-automate-backups-digitalocean-spaces
You can automate the sync with tools like s3cmd, which works natively with Spaces:

That gives you versioned, off-site style backups without needing native snapshot support.
