   To review the user assistance for OCI Object Storage, see Overview of Object Storage.

2. Create the environment required to store attachments in OCI Object Storage. This includes setting up the bucket (logical storage location in OCI Object Storage) in which attachments will be stored.

   See Setting Up OCI Object Storage.

3. Configure Tax Reporting to store attachments in OCI Object Storage.

   See Setting Up OCI Object Storage in Tax Reporting.

4. Configure Backup and Disaster Recovery for object storage. For more information, see How can I set up backup and disaster recovery for my own Object Storage bucket? section in Backup and Disaster Recovery in Getting Started Guide for Administrators.

   Caution:

   If an Object Storage bucket is accidentally deleted, it cannot be recovered. Therefore, it is vital that you configure backup and disaster recovery for buckets that store your data.
