This is covered by the config flow

I used the AWS S3 documentation as a starting point and there these steps are also included. The IDrive e2 functionality is closely related. How to proceed?

| This integration requires an existing IDrive e2 bucket and an Access Key with permissions to that bucket. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to scope the Access Key policy as narrowly as possible to the required operations and resources only. | ||

documenting the IDrive side of things is a bit out of scope for Home Assistant documentation. Is there IDrive documentation we can link to instead?

If needed:
IDrive e2 has a tutorial section where we also could refer to.

Proposed change
This is the documentation for the proposed IDrive e2 backup provider. As discussed earlier each S3 implementation should have their own implementation. This implementation for instance uses a specific config_flow for IDrive e2 which automatically determines the endpoint based on the provided credentials and provides the user a dropdown selection box to select the bucket.
ps: As requested a new PR
