In order for Backazon to store data on the Amazon S3 servers, you will need to enter the AWS Access Key and the Secret Access Key into Backazon.  

The AWS Access Key is like a username and the Secret Access Key is like a password.  Just like any password, you should not share this information with anyone.  Our Support Representatives will never ask you for this information.

If you have not yet completed the Amazon Web Services Account set up, please do that before proceeding. 

1.  While in your Web Services account on Amazon.com, minimize the browser and click the AWS Access Key Identifiers link within the Backazon, Settings page.

2.  This will conveniently bring you to the Amazon.com page where you can get these two identifiers.   The image below shows a sample of this Amazon page.  Notice on the right side of the window, there are two Access keys, both of which must be copied into Backazon before you can begin to use Amazon Web services. 

Notice that one key is visible, the other is displayed only when you toggle the 'show' / 'hide' link in the Your Secret Access Key field.  Toggle it to 'Show' by clicking once on the link.

3.  Using your mouse, click, drag and highlight the access key.  Using your keyboard, press down keys Ctrl and 'C' to get a copy of the key.

4.  Then returning to the Backazon Settings page, paste each key into the appropriate fields.  Put  your cursor into the field by clicking once inside the field.  Using your keyboard, press keys Ctrl and V to paste the key into the field.  Repeat these steps for the Secret Access Key as well.  Once they are pasted into the appropriate fields, you're done!  Backazon automatically saves those entries and you can proceed to creating your first secure online backup! Create a Backup Job.

You can always view your access keys from within your Amazon Web Services account by using the following link on their site:
