     • SignatureVersion: By default, Cloud Backup uses V4 authentication to access your storage. To use V2 authentication, add SignatureVersion=V2 into the extended parameters.
     • RetryInterval: Customize the retry interval when the network connection is interrupted. Enter any positive integer between 0 and 2147483646 (the unit is millisecond).
