When using Cloudinary’s automatic backup feature, you have the option to store your backed-up resources in a private S3 or GCS bucket (available on all paid plans).
Although Cloudinary exclusively manages the backup partition, some users may need insight into the storage structure.
Backup Storage Structure
Backed-up content follows this general path format within the backup bucket:
Key Considerations
-
Public ID as a Folder: To enhance redundancy, the
public_idfunctions as an additional folder level, while theversionserves as the actual filename. - Do Not Modify Stored Content: The backup files must remain in their original locations as managed by Cloudinary’s automatic backup mechanism. Altering this storage may disrupt database integrity and lead to data corruption.
- Structure Subject to Change: This backup structure is provided for informational purposes only and may change over time.

Hi.
The structure of the link that is exampled here is intentionally generic, as there could be many options.
I hope that is what you mean by your reply.
If not, please elaborate on what it is you are expecting to see, and we will be happy to help.
Can we access backup URL for a given resource? Is it exposed in the API?
