Configuring Rubrik with Wasabi

Wasabi has been validated for use as an archival location with Rubrik. Rubrik Security Cloud is a comprehensive data security platform that delivers complete cyber resilience.To learn more about our joint solution, please refer to our solution brief.

Please Note: The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. 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.

Prerequisites

  • A Rubrik Security Cloud account

  • A Rubrik cluster installed and configured (v 4.2.2 and above)

  • An active Wasabi account

Configuring Wasabi as an Archival Location

  1. Login to the Rubrik Security Cloud.

  1. Navigate to Apps and click on “Settings”.

  1. Expand the Archival and Storage and click “Data Center Archival Locations”. Click on “Create Archival Location”.

  1. In the Create Archival Location dialog box, select “Object Store (S3 Compatible)” as the storage type and click “Next”.

  1. In the Storage Details section, select the desired Rubrik cluster. In the Object Storage dropdown, select “Wasabi”.

  1. Provide a name for the Archival location and select the desired Rubrik cluster. Provide the required storage details as outlined below

    • Host Name - provide the endpoint URL of the region where the bucket is located

    • Bucket Prefix - provide a prefix for the bucket that will be created by Rubrik

    • Access Key - provide the Wasabi access key

    • Secret Key - provide the Wasabi secret key

Note: This configuration example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-2 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions.

  1. Scroll down to provide the RSA key and check the “Enable Archive Consolidation” option and click “Next”.

  1. Review the information for the archival location and click “Create”.

  1. The archival location will be created. As part of this, Rubrik will create a bucket named “partnerlab”.

Assigning Archival location to the SLA domain

To archive the VMs to Wasabi bucket, we will need to assign our S3-compatible archival location to the SLA Domain policy.

  1. On the RSC home screen, click on “SLA Domains”.

  1. Select the desired SLA domain.

  1. Click on “Edit”.

  1. Navigate to the Archival Parameters settings section. Under the Archival Policy, select the Wasabi Archival location configured in the earlier section and click “Next” and save the changes.

The backups of the data sources protected by this SLA domain will be sent to the archival location per the policy configured in the SLA domain.

Configuring Immutability with Wasabi

With v 9.4.0-p1, Rubrik now supports object-level immutability with Wasabi. To configure immutability with Wasabi, please follow the instructions below.

  1. Create an archival location following the steps 1 - 6 in section Configuring Wasabi as an Archival Location.

  2. Scroll down to provide the RSA key. Enable "Immutable Archive” option and click “Next”.

  1. Review the information for the archival location and click “Create”.

  1. The archival location will be created. As part of this, Rubrik will create an object lock enabled bucket named “partnerlab-imm”.

  1. Assign the immutable archival location to the desired SLA domain as detailed in section - Assigning Archival location to the SLA domain. The immutability period for the archived snapshots will be determined by the retention period set in the Archival policy of the assigned SLA domain.
