# Create a Backup Copy to Wasabi on Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8
###
[Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8](https://www.veeam.com/whats-new-backup-microsoft-office-365.html) empowers customers to securely back up Microsoft 365 to on-premises or cloud object storage. Wasabi has been validated to work with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8.
Version 8 of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 introduces immutability support for normal backup jobs, so using backup copy jobs to gain immutability is no longer required. Backup copy jobs do allow customers to have a secondary copy of their backups, however. This article provides steps to create a backup copy job.
For more details about specific features, refer to [Veeam's Documentation](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/?ad=in-text-link&_gl=1*1kipnk7*_ga*NzE2NDU1NDUxLjE2Njk4NDU2ODU.*_ga_PMJS81E58L*MTY3NzYwMTA0MS43Mi4xLjE2Nzc2MDIyMjkuNDQuMC4w).
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.
***Veeam Backup for M365 supports immutability for both backups and backup copies.***To leverage immutable Veeam backups, follow the steps in [Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking). Enabling bucket versioning-only without Object Lock is not a proper configuration for immutable Veeam backups and can cause problems. If you are simply going to use regular non-immutable Veeam backups with Wasabi buckets, then bucket versioning is not required.
## Requirements
- Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8 installed and licensed.
- Active Microsoft 365 account with two-step authentication turned On.
- Active Wasabi Cloud Storage account.
- A standard or Object Locked (immutable) Wasabi bucket created, along with access and secret keys.
