•  Bucket name: the bucket name you've created in Step 2
•  'Bucket create region': select 'Custom region value' and enter your region, for instance, "us-west-1"
•  Leave 'Bucket create region' and 'Storage class' default ()
•  Folder path: add a folder name for backups
•  AWS Access ID: your Access Key from EU DataVault Console
•  AWS Access Key: your Secret Key from EU DataVault Console
•  Expand Advanced options, select "s3-ext-authenticationregion" and fill it with your region, for instance, "us-west-1"
