BACK UP SQL SERVER TO MINIO

SQL Backup Master can be configured to back up your Microsoft SQL Server databases to MinIO, a high-performance, self-hosted S3-compatible object storage server.

MinIO is a popular open-source object storage server that delivers fully S3-compatible storage for organizations that prefer to run their backup infrastructure on-premises or within a private cloud. Unlike public cloud storage services, MinIO gives you complete control over where your SQL Server backups live - making it an ideal choice for businesses with strict data residency requirements, air-gapped environments, or policies that prohibit sending sensitive database backups to third-party cloud providers. SQL Backup Master integrates with MinIO through its standard S3-compatible destination configuration, treating your self-hosted MinIO deployment exactly like any other S3 service.

MinIO is designed for high throughput and can be deployed on bare metal, virtual machines, Kubernetes, or on top of any public cloud provider - giving you tremendous flexibility in how you architect your SQL Server backup storage. The server supports distributed, erasure-coded deployments that provide excellent durability without depending on external services, and it scales horizontally as your backup retention needs grow. For organizations looking to modernize their on-premises backup infrastructure without migrating entirely to the public cloud, MinIO paired with SQL Backup Master delivers a modern, S3-native backup workflow that keeps your database backups exactly where you want them.
