1. Add a set consisting of a unique connection name and a set of connection parameters of type scp_params to the storage_connects main config block.

- name: scp_test
scp_params:
host: 192.168.0.1
port: 22
user: sftp_user
password: ENV:SFTP_USER_PASSWORD
connection_timeout: 102. Add backup storage options for the previously specified storage name to the storages_options block in the job parameters.

- storage_name: scp_test
backup_path: /databases/mysql
