NetApp SaaS Backup With Wasabi

NetApp SaaS Backup for Office365 can be used with Wasabi by following the configuration instructions below.

Note: The data restoration process is handled by your backup software. As there are many potential variables that will affect your unique environment, it is strongly recommended 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.
