What's Changed

v18.0.3.0.0 — S3-compatible storage support

Change	Description
Custom S3 endpoint URL	New field S3 Endpoint URL allows connecting to any S3-compatible object storage (RustFS, MinIO, Ceph, etc.). Leave empty for standard AWS S3.
Optional folder	The Folder Name field is now optional. When left empty, backups are stored directly in the bucket root (/).
Renamed destination	Backup destination renamed from Amazon S3 to S3 (AWS or compatible) to reflect broader compatibility.
Improved backup logic	S3 backup logic refactored — no longer requires a folder prefix to exist before uploading; handles empty folder path gracefully for both backup and auto-remove operations.
Secret key masking	S3 Secret Key field now uses password masking in the GUI.

Configuration

1. Install the module in Odoo 18.
2. Go to Settings → Technical → Automatic Database Backup → Backup Configuration.
3. Create a new backup configuration and select the backup destination.
4. For S3 (AWS or compatible):
   • Fill in S3 Access Key and S3 Secret Key.
   • Optionally fill in S3 Endpoint URL (e.g. https://rustfs.example.com) — leave empty for AWS.
   • Fill in Bucket Name (required).
   • Optionally fill in Folder Name — leave empty to use the bucket root.
5. Click Test Connection to verify.
