# Trusted Data Solutions Restoration Assurance Program With Wasabi

<meta charset="utf-8">

### The [TDS Restoration Assurance Program](https://trusteddata.com/rap/) is a data management solution for customer’s legacy backup environments to maintain access to archived data while allowing them to decommission the legacy environment.

TDS Restoration Assurance Program is a managed service that allows tape backups to be migrated to Wasabi cloud storage.

## **Prerequisites**

- Active Wasabi Storage account

- Active TDS account.

## Creating a Wasabi Bucket

The first step is to create a bucket in your Wasabi account that will contain the migrated data. Login to the <meta charset="utf-8">[Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/) as the root user and follow the instructions to create a bucket in the [Working With Buckets and Objects](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects) article. Make note of the bucket name and region that your bucket resides in.

Do NOT enable Object Locking or Versioning as TDS does not support it.

## Creating an IAM Policy

You will then create an Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy for a user (that is created below) to restrict access to the previously created bucket. Follow the instructions in [Creating a Policy](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-policy) using the following policy that may be copied and pasted into the Policy Editor on the Wasabi Console. Replace BUCKETNAME with the name of the previously created bucket, using lower-case characters.

```json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKETNAME",
        "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKETNAME/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

## Creating a Wasabi User

The next step is creating a Wasabi user on your account via the [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/) and API keys for that user following the directions in [Creating a User Account and Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key#creating-a-user).

- Select the Programmatic (create API key) under Type of Access.
- <meta charset="utf-8">You may skip assigning the user to a group unless desired.
- Assign the previously created IAM policy to the user.
- At the end of the user creation, a "Create Access Key" popup will be displayed.  Make sure to download the keys (Access and Secret) and save them in a secure location.  They will be needed in the next step.
