Now, now that your bucket is ready, click on the three dots next to your new bucket and select Generate Credentials. Give your credentials a name, then hit the Generate button. You will need your Access key and Secret key in order to connect to xCloud, so be sure to copy them. Now it's time to enter the details you've gathered from Hetzner. Enter your bucket name, choose the region, and then paste the your Access ID and Secret key from Hetzner. Once everything is filled out, click Submit. You'll now see Hetzner listed as an active storage provider in your Xcloud dashboard. With Hetzner Storage integrated with Xcloud, it's time to set up your site's backups. Now go to the navigation bar and choose Backup Settings from the Site Backup menu. Then select the backup type from the dropdown menu under the Remote Backup settings. Next, choose your newly created Hetzner Storage bucket. Then specify the frequency and time of automatic backups and click on the Save button. Now go to the previous Backup option from the menu and click on the Backup now button to take a backup with Hetzner. Once the backup process is done, you can restore or delete any backup as per your preferences. From here, if you go back to your storage bucket, you can check the newly created backups that you have taken with xCloud. And that's it. You've successfully integrated Hetzner as your storage provider in Xcloud and configured your site's backup settings. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this tutorial, give us a thumbs up.
