# Synology ActiveProtect Manager With Wasabi

[Synology ActiveProtect](https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/ActiveProtectAppliance) is a comprehensive data protection solution designed for diverse enterprise environments. With ActiveProtect Manager, you can copy backup versions or tier backup data directly to Wasabi Cloud Storage.>For more information on how Synology ActiveProtect works with Wasabi, refer to the [Synology and Wasabi Solution Brief](https://cdn.brandfolder.io/BFD8NB05/at/jzbv5k2xhqcbqbfvpgh73snk/Synology_Solution_Brief.pdf).

## Requirements

- ActiveProtect Manager 1.1 or above
- Active[Wasabi Cloud Storage Account](https://wasabi.com/sign-up)
- Wasabi Object Lock Enabled Bucket - See our [Bucket Creation Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects)
- Access and Secret Key Pair— See our [Access Keys Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key)

## Reference Architecture Diagrams

### Single Site Deployment

- 1 backup server: Set up an ActiveProtect appliance to back up, restore, and store your workloads.
- 1 cloud remote storage: Implement the 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy by storing backup copies off-site, reducing the impact of single points of failure. You can use Wasabi Cloud Storage as a remote storage.

### General Deployment

- 2 Backup servers: Set up two ActiveProtect appliances, one as the primary backup server and the other for storing backup copies off-site.
- 1 remote storage: Remote storage helps you meet long-term retention requirements and free up capacity on your backup servers. You can tier backup data to either on-premises or cloud-based storage (for example, Wasabi Cloud Storage).

### Distributed Deployment

Large corporations own vast amounts of data and machines, thus requiring a backup solution that guarantees performance, scalability, and high availability. To comprehensively protect data while achieving these criteria, we recommend adopting a distributed deployment approach: set up multiple backup servers and distribute workloads among them:

- Multiple backup servers: Set up several ActiveProtect appliances based on your data size and network architecture, placing one in each office for optimal backup efficiency. Also, you can set up a backup server on a disaster recovery site to store backup copies and perform restoration drills.
- 1 remote storage: Remote storage(e.g., Wasabi Cloud Storage) helps you meet long-term retention requirements and free up capacity on your backup servers. You can tier backup data to either on-premises or cloud-based storage.
