# Storage

Storage backend configuration and Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver guides for Trilio for Kubernetes.

## Overview

This section contains comprehensive guides for configuring various storage backends as backup targets and installing/configuring CSI drivers for volume snapshots and management.

## Storage Backend Guides

| Storage Backend                                                                       | Purpose                                                 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| [ovh-object-storage.md](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/ovh-object-storage.md)           | Configure OVH Object Storage as a backup target         |
| [generic-storage-volumes.md](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/generic-storage-volumes.md) | Configure T4K for volumes with generic storage backends |
| [https-http-clusters.md](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/https-http-clusters.md)         | Connect T4K UI between HTTPS and HTTP clusters          |

## CSI Driver Configuration

Persistent Volumes and snapshots require proper CSI driver configuration:

* [**csi-drivers/**](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/csi-drivers.md) - CSI driver installation and configuration guides
  * [install-aws-ebs-csi-driver.md](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/csi-drivers/install-aws-ebs-csi-driver.md) - Install AWS EBS CSI Driver
  * [installing-volumesnapshot-crds.md](/kubernetes/appendix/storage/csi-drivers/installing-volumesnapshot-crds.md) - Install VolumeSnapshot CRDs

## When to Use This Section

Use this section when you need to:

* Configure a new backup target storage backend
* Set up CSI drivers for your storage system
* Manage volume snapshots and persistent volumes
* Troubleshoot storage-related backup issues
* Integrate T4K with object storage services
* Enable snapshot capabilities for your volumes
* Configure network connectivity between backup locations

## Supported Storage Backends

T4K supports multiple storage backends:

* Object storage (AWS S3, OVH Object Storage, etc.)
* NFS
* Generic storage backends
* Cloud-specific managed services

Refer to the main T4K documentation for a complete list of supported backends.
