# Vertical Backup With Wasabi

[Vertical Backup](https://www.verticalbackup.com/) is certified for use with Wasabi. To use Vertical Backup with Wasabi, provide a storage url in the form of wasabi:// to the init command. You will then be prompted to enter the access key and the secret:

[root@esxi55:/opt/vertical] ./vertical init esxi55 wasabi://verticalbackup-test

Vertical Backup 1.1.4

Enter the S3 access id:

Enter the S3 secret key:

Storage set to wasabi://verticalbackup-test

You can also set the environment variables VB_S3_ID and VB_S3_KEY to avoid entering them ever time a Vertical Backup command is run.

After that you can start backing up virtual machines by running the backup command:

root@esxi55:/opt/vertical] ./vertical backup vm1 vm2
