Veeam v10 NAS Backup With Wasabi

How do I use Veeam v10 NAS backup with Wasabi?

Wasabi is a member of Veeam's cloud partner ecosystem. We have worked with Veeam closely to offer both a seamless implementation and a smooth transition to cloud storage. For more information on how Veeam works with Wasabi, refer to Veeam with Wasabi Solution Overview.

If you are going to leverage immutable Veeam backups, follow the steps in Object Lock: Enabling.

Enabling bucket versioning only is not a proper configuration for immutable Veeam backups and can cause problems. If you are simply going to use regular Veeam backups with Wasabi buckets, bucket versioning is not required.

Native S3 Interface: The Veeam v10 release has continued its native support of the S3 interface for Veeam's Backup & Replication product. This native S3 interface enables Veeam customers to use S3-compatible storage (such as Wasabi) as a Cloud Tier.  Veeam customers should contact their Veeam account team for details.

The steps outlined below require the Veeam v10 release. For other release versions, refer to Veeam With Wasabi.

The Veeam application requires base licensing of Enterprise or Enterprise Plus  to leverage the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) feature. The SOBR is required for Wasabi Integration. Contact your Veeam sales representative to learn more about Veeam licensing. For information about Veeam Licensing, review Veeam Product Features Comparison page.
