Requirements

Configuring CubeBackup

1. Log in to the Wasabi Console.

2. Click CREATE BUCKET.

3. In the pop-up dialog, input a bucket name and select a region based on your location.

4. Click CREATE BUCKET.

   Leave Bucket Versioning, Bucket Logging, and Object Locking disabled, as CubeBackup has its own version control and logging systems.

   

5. Start the CubeBackup configuration wizard.

6. When starting CubeBackup for the first time, the initial configuration wizard will pop up. Select Amazon S3 compatible storage as the Storage type and provide the corresponding information for the storage bucket created in Steps 2—4.

   • Data Index path (For performance reasons, CubeBackup needs to keep some metadata on local disk when backing up Google Workspace data.)

     The data index is the metadata for the backups, and its access speed is crucial to backup performance. We strongly recommend that you store the data index on a local SSD. See what the data index is for more information.

   • Endpoint (Service endpoint URL for the region in which the bucket was created. In our example, s3.ap-northeast-1.wasabisys.com.)

   • Bucket 

   • Access Key ID

   • Secret Access Key

   

   This configuration example discusses the use of Wasabi’s ap-northeast-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions.

7. In the next step, you need to enter the domain name and the administrator account of your Google Workspace, as well as the Google Service account key file. For more information, follow the CubeBackup configuration guide Create Google Service account.

   

   Once the configuration is complete, your Google Workspace data will be automatically backed up to the Wasabi bucket you have created.

8. Data backup and restore histories can be found on the HISTORY page in the CubeBackup console. If any error occurs, click the number in the Errors column to get detailed information.
