Follow the steps outlined below to use Commvault Cloud with Wasabi. ## Requirements - A Commvault Cloud account subscription - [Commvault Cloud Backup Gateway](https://docs.metallic.io/metallic/on_premises_backup_gateways.html) downloaded and installed - An active Wasabi cloud storage account ## Configuring Wasabi as a Cloud Storage Target 1. Log in to the Commvault Cloud account. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Step-1.jpeg) 1. Navigate to **Storage**.

To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in [Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions). 1. In the Add Credential dialog box, provide the following details and click **Save**. - Credential name — Provide a name for the credentials - Access key ID — Provide the Wasabi access key - Secret access key - Provide the Wasabi secret access key ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Step 6(3).png) 1. Select the added Wasabi credential and provide a bucket name. Enable deduplication and add a location for the Deduplication DB. Click **Save**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Step 7(2).png) 1. The Cloud tab displays the newly added Wasabi storage location. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Step 8.jpeg) ## Creating a Backup Plan 1. Navigate to **Manage.** Click **Plans**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2025-07-27 at 4.24.24 PM.png) 1. Click **Create Plan**.

Commvault Cloud supports object lock in Compliance mode. When WORM is enabled, cloud storage utilization will increase due to the deduplication databases used by Commvault as part of its backup process. This applies to all cloud storage providers. For more information, please refer to Commvault documentation at [*https://documentation.commvault.com/saas/worm_storage_and_retention_for_cloud_storage.html*](https://documentation.commvault.com/saas/worm_storage_and_retention_for_cloud_storage.html) Follow the steps below to make your backups immutable. 1. Create an **o**bject lock-enabled Wasabi bucket. For more information, refer to[Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/object-locking). 2. Configure the object lock enabled bucket as a cloud storage server location following the steps in section, [Configuring Wasabi as Cloud Storage target](/v1/docs/draft-configuring-commvault-cloud-with-wasabi#configuring-wasabi-as-a-cloud-storage-target). 3. Click the cloud storage location, then navigate to Configuration. Under the WORM section, enable WORM Storage Lock and configure the desired retention period. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/cv-imm.png) 1. Assign this storage server as the destination in the appropriate backup plan All backups will be written to Wasabi in WORM mode after the retention period specified in the backup plan
