Egnyte With Wasabi

Egnyte Content Cloud powers flexible collaboration, secure intelligence, and built-in governance, enabling teams to work more efficiently, uncover insights faster, and safeguard data across the entire content lifecycle. Wasabi has been validated for use as an external replication destination with Egnyte.

Requirements

• An Egnyte account.

  • The end-user must have a Secure & Govern Tenant.

  • The feature is available as a standalone add-on for Enterprise Lite, Enterprise, Essentials, Elite, and Ultimate plans.

• An active Wasabi account includes the following.

  • Wasabi bucket (see Working With Buckets and Objects)

  • Access & Secret Key pair (see Creating a User Account and Access Key)

Configuring Wasabi for External Replication

Before a Wasabi bucket can be used as an External Replication destination, the user permission policy must be set accordingly. Create a user permission policy following the steps below to allow Egnyte to replicate data to the Wasabi bucket and assign it to the desired user.

For more information, review Creating a Policy.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
                "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
                "s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}",
                "arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "ListAllMyBucketsPolicy",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
               "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Replace the bucket name accordingly in the arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}" and "arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}/*" lines.

Create a user with programmatic access (create an API key) and apply the policy created above to the user. For more details, refer to Creating a User.

Configuring Egnyte

External Replication allows users to easily replicate their Egnyte data to Wasabi to meet their cyber insurance and security compliance requirements.

Adding an External Replication Destination

1. Log in to the Egnyte portal.

2. Click the app picker menu.

   

3. Click Secure & Govern.

   

4. Click Settings.

5. Select Content Lifecycle.

   

6. On the Content Lifecycle settings page, click Add destination.

   

7. Select a destination type.

   

8. Provide the following details.

   • Source label—Provide a name for the destination.

   • S3 identity—Wasabi access key.

   • S3 secret—Wasabi secret key.

   

9. Click Register.

10. The destination will now be displayed under the External replication destinations.

    

Creating a Replication Job

1. Navigate to Content Lifecycle.

   

2. Select an Egnyte domain from Filtered Locations as the source for the Replication Job.

3. Click Replicate.

   

4. In the Initial Setup step of the Replication configuration Wizard, provide the following information.

   • Job Name—Provide the desired name for the replication job.

   • Source—Select one or more folders to replicate.

     Source files or folders that are included in another existing Replication job cannot be selected for a new Replication job.

   • Destination—Select the Wasabi destination created in the earlier section.

   • Destination Location—Select the Wasabi bucket.

5. Click Next.  

   

6. The Source Details step confirms the size and number of objects that comprise the Replication Job. Click Next.

   

7. The True-Up Schedule step allows the user to configure how true-ups will be handled. A True-Up is a periodic update that can be run for a Replication job. The job’s initial run will replicate all files and folders. After that, true-ups replicate new or changed files and folders only to the replication destination. The user can configure True-Ups to run:

   • Manually

   • Automatically (on a selected frequency and time)

8. Specify the time and click Next.  

   

9. The Review step of the wizard confirms all settings. Click Replicate.

   

10. A confirmation pop-up will display. Click Close.
