# Create a Backup Copy Job in Veeam v13 With Wasabi

Wasabi is a member of Veeam's cloud partner ecosystem. We have worked closely with Veeam to offer both a seamless implementation and a smooth transition to cloud storage. [Veeam with Wasabi Solution Overview](https://wasabi.com/veeam/) provides more information on the Wasabi-Veeam partnership and solutions.

Veeam's Backup and Replication software version 13 provides direct to Wasabi object storage functionality for backup and backup copy jobs. This article details the steps to create a backup copy job to write backups to Wasabi.

> [!NOTE]
> The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As there are many potential variables that will affect your unique environment, Wasabi strongly recommends that you seek the guidance of your backup software's technical support team in the event that you encounter difficulty or have application-specific inquiries.

> [!NOTE]
> If you are going to leverage immutable Veeam backup copies, follow the steps in [Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking). Enabling bucket versioning only is not a proper configuration for immutable Veeam backup copies and can cause problems. If you are simply going to use regular Veeam backup copies with Wasabi buckets, bucket versioning is not required.

## **Prerequisites**

- Active Wasabi Storage account.
- Wasabi bucket created and the access and secret keys available.
- Veeam Backup and Replication version 13 software installed and licensed. This solution was most recently tested with v13.0.1. For other major release versions, refer to [Veeam With Wasabi](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/how-do-i-use-veeam-with-wasabi).
- A valid Veeam license that supports capabilities for object storage.
- Completed backup jobs.

> [!NOTE]
> Since the Veeam web user interface (UI) does not yet support creating object storage repositories, you must use the Veeam Windows client. If you’re using the Veeam Software Appliance, this is downloadable from your Veeam Software Appliance login page by clicking “Download Windows-based backup console for full experience” as shown in the following screenshot.
> 
> 
> 
> One Linux-based virtual machine (VM) runs the Veeam Software Appliance, and another Windows-based VM (or any Windows computer) runs the client software.

## **Creating Wasabi as an Object Repository**

In Veeam version 13, Veeam Backup and Replication software can directly backup to Wasabi cloud object storage. You will need to have already created a Wasabi bucket to be used for this repository. See [Creating a Bucket](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-bucket) for details. You will also need the Access key and the Secret key to access the Wasabi bucket. Details about Access and Secret keys can be found in [Creating a New Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-new-access-key).

Follow the steps below to add Wasabi as an object storage repository in Veeam.
