# Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud With Wasabi

[Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/products/cloud/cyber-protect/) represents an all-in-one cyber protection solution that integrates backup and recovery, disaster recovery, malware prevention, security controls, remote assistance, monitoring, and reporting. Wasabi can now be used as a destination for the Cyber Protect backups.

## Prerequisites

- An active Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud account to access Cyber Protection Service.
  - If you are an Acronis partner, [create accounts](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberCloud/index.html#creating-user-account.html) for your customers.
  - If you are a customer of an Acronis partner, you will [receive the user account](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/CyberProtectionService/#activating-account.html) from your partner.
  - Have Cyber Administrator, User, or Company Administrator access.
- A Wasabi Cloud Storage account.

## Access Requirements Needed to Backup to Wasabi

To define a Wasabi bucket as a backup location, there are a few requirements that need to be considered.

- A Wasabi Bucket needs to be created.
- A user with relevant policies needs to be created.

For security purposes, root user access keys cannot be used to define a backup location in Acronis. A user with relevant policies should be created. The credentials of this user will be used to define the Backup Location in Acronis.

The sections below outline the steps to fulfill the access requirements needed to create a Wasabi backup location in Acronis.

### Bucket Creation

Create a bucket. For more information, review [Creating a Bucket](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-bucket).

### Policy Permissions

Create a policy with the below permissions. For more information, review [Creating a Policy](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/en/creating-a-policy?highlight=undefined).

This policy gives the user the minimum set of permissions to a wide scope of resources.

> In the policy, * indicates all resources.

## Creating a User

Create a user with programmatic (create API key) access and apply the policy created above to the user. For more detail, refer to [Creating a User](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key#creating-a-user).

> Remember to save the access keys, as they will be needed to define the backup location.

Next, create the backup location in Acronis Cyber Protect console.

## Creating a Backup Location in Acronis Cyber Protect Console

To create immutable backups with Wasabi, refer to [Using Immutability with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud](https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/using-immutability-with-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud).

4. In the S3 compatible connection dialog box, provide the following details and click **Connect.**
  - Management agent—Select the desired agent
  - Endpoint URL—Provide the service URL of the region the bucket is located in
  - Access key ID—The access key of the Wasabi user created above in [Access requirements needed to backup to Wasabi](/docs/how-do-i-use-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-with-wasabi#access-requirements-needed-to-backup-to-wasabi).
  - Access key secret—The secret access key of the Wasabi user created above in [Access requirements needed to backup to Wasabi](/docs/how-do-i-use-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-with-wasabi#access-requirements-needed-to-backup-to-wasabi).

> This configuration example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-central-1 storage region. Use the region your bucket is located in. For a list of regions, see [Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabi-s-different-storage-regions).
5. On the next screen, provide a Location name (Wasabi central is used in this example) and select the bucket, created above in [Access requirements needed to backup to Wasabi](/v1/docs/draft-acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-with-wasabi-2#access-requirements-needed-to-backup-to-wasabi), from the Buckets drop-down menu. You can use the search bar to search for the bucket. Click **Add**.
