# ShareArchiver With Wasabi

[ShareArchiver](https://sharearchiver.com/) File Archiving Solution helps Organizations migrate seldom accessed data to low cost archive storage, delivering a huge reduction in utilized primary storage, storage costs, backup and restore time(s) and better system performance. ShareArchiver is now validated for use with Wasabi.

## Wasabi compatible release

- ShareArchiver Version 4 and up.
- ShareArchiver can be deployed as a virtual appliance.

## Requirements

- Wasabi security credentials and bucket details.
- ShareArchiver on-premise or Cloud deployment subscription.
- Archive agent for the archive process.

## Archiving Configuration

### Step1 – Create a Wasabi S3 bucket

**Requirements**

- Wasabi bucket, Access Key, Secret Key & Access URL (s3.wasabisys.com)
- Admin access to ShareArchiver portal

### Step 2 – Create Archive Policy

The administrator creates a policy that dictates which files are archived. For example, file properties such as last modified date, accessed date, file types, and size are set – See example below.

### Step 3 - Create Archive and Stub Job

The next step is to create a job, which can take many forms; these are the 2 most popular options.

- Archive - (This creates a copy of the data to the target Wasabi bucket)
- Archive and Stub - (Archive and replace the file with a virtual file taking up no storage)

There are other types of jobs, for example, analysis, indexing, and other functions that can be performed. Stubbing is the process by which archived files are replaced with virtual files, allowing users to seamlessly access archived data.

Some of the settings when creating a job.

- Select an agent (multiple agents for multiple file servers)
- Select the policy you want to apply (Created in step 2)
- Add the File Share (UNC path) you want to target for the policy and archiving.
- Select the Target volume (Created in Step 1— Wasabi S3 bucket)
- And schedule or run the job on demand.

The job will execute, and in the process, the agent will shortlist files for archiving and archive them to the Wasabi bucket, replacing the files with a virtual stub file, allowing seamless access

Job name, type, policy, and Agent selection

Target UNC path selection is added to the list by pressing the **Include** button.

Finally, run the job on demand or schedule it for later.

## User Access to Archived Data

This folder has been archived and compressed, reducing it from 10.6 GB to 13.5 MB. Virtual files allow seamless access to archived files and no interruption for users.
