# Migrate Veeam v12 Backup Copy Job From AWS S3 to Wasabi Using WCSM
###
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 and Wasabi Solution Brief](https://wasabi.com/partner/integrations/veeam).
This article describes the procedure to migrate a non-immutable Veeam v12 repository from AWS S3 to Wasabi using Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager (WCSM). WCSM is a paid managed service that performs cloud-to-cloud migration without requiring the customer to download and re-upload backups.
This article covers only Backup Copy Jobs. Reference the articles listed below for **Direct to Object Storage** and **Scale-Out Backup Repositories (SOBRs)****.**
[How do I migrate Veeam v12 Direct to Object Storage from AWS S3 to Wasabi using WCSM?](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/migrate-veeam-v12-direct-to-object-storage-from-aws-s3-to-wasabi-using-wcsm)
[How do I migrate Veeam v12 SOBR from AWS S3 to Wasabi using WCSM?](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/migrate-veeam-v12-sobr-from-aws-s3-to-wasabi-using-wcsm)
To use the Veeam v12 Move capability, that also works with immutable backups, review [Migrate Veeam Backups From AWS S3 to Wasabi on Veeam v12](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/how-do-i-migrate-veeam-backups-from-aws-s3-to-wasabi-on-veeam-v12). Using Veeam Move requires downloading and uploading your backups.
The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As there are many, potential variables that will affect your unique environment, Wasabi strongly recommends that you seek the guidance of your backup software's technical support team in the event that you encounter difficulty or have application-specific inquiries.
#### Requirements
- Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR) v12 or higher, installed and licensed. This solution was tested with v12.2.
- Active AWS S3 cloud storage account.
- An AWS S3 non-Object-Locked (non-immutable) bucket with access keys.
- An active VBR repository.
- Active Wasabi Cloud Storage account.
- A Wasabi non-Object-Locked (non-immutable) bucket created with access keys.
## High-Level Migration Steps
Follow the high-level steps below to migrate from AWS S3 to Wasabi. These are detailed further in the sections below.
1. Backup copies reside initially only in the AWS S3 bucket.
2. The WCSM team performs an initial copy from AWS S3 to Wasabi.
3. The customer disables Veeam backup activities (backup jobs) before the final sync.
4. The WCSM team performs a final sync.
5. The customer adds a Wasabi repository.
6. The customer does a test restore using a migrated backup.
7. Finally, the customer points the backup jobs to Wasabi and enables the jobs.
## Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager Configuration
Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager (WCSM) is a paid, managed migration service. Refer to [Getting Started With Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/wasabi-cloud-sync-manager-wcsm-getting-started) for more information.
1. Request a WCSM Account by either completing the [WCSM Questionnaire](https://info.wasabi.com/wcsm-questionnaire) or reaching out to your Wasabi Sales contact.
2. Upon approval and notification of account creation, you will be able to log into the [WCSM Portal](https://wcsm.wasabisys.com/). Follow the steps outlined in [2—Entering Credentials for Cloud Migration](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/entering-credentials-for-cloud-migration).
3. This will require you to enter your AWS S3 storage account credentials and Wasabi account credentials along with your bucket information.
**After the data has been initially copied to Wasabi, proceed with the next sections.**
## Disable Backup Activities Before Final Sync is Performed
1. Navigate to the Home tab. Click **Backup**under Jobs and select the primary backup job. Click **Disable**.
2. Navigate to the Home tab, click **Backup Copy**under Jobs, select the **Backup Copy** job you wish to disable, then click **Disable**.
## Final WCSM sync will be performed on agreed upon date
The final WCSM data sync will occur on the date agreed upon by the customer and the Wasabi WCSM team. This will sync any new backups performed to AWS S3 and any Veeam backup cleanup activities/deletions from AWS S3 to ensure the same data resides in Wasabi. For a definition of the WCSM sync operation, review [Migration Types](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/wasabi-cloud-sync-manager-wcsm#migration-types).
**After the final sync has been performed, proceed to the next section.**
## Creating the Wasabi Repository
1. Navigate to the Backup Infrastructure tab. Click **Backup Repositories,**then click **Add Repository**.
2. Click **Object Storage**.
3. Click **Additional Providers**. Note this step is new for VBR version 12.2. Previously Wasabi was located directly under **Object Storage**.
4. Click **Wasabi Cloud Storage**.
5. Give the repository a Name. Click **Next**.
6. Specify the Wasabi region that your Wasabi bucket is located in. Click **Add**in order to add your Wasabi access and secret key account credentials.This configuration example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-1 storage region. Use the region your bucket is located in. For a list of regions, see [Available Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/en/where-is-my-data-stored-and-how-are-wasabis-storage-regions-secured?highlight=regions#available-storage-regions).
7. Enter your Wasabi Access Key and Secret Key. Click **OK**.
8. Click **Next.**
9. Under **Bucket,** click **Browse**.
10. Select the Wasabi bucket that data was migrated to and click **OK**.
11. Under **Folder**, click **Browse.**
12. Select the existing top-level folder in the bucket and click **OK**. Do NOT create a new folder.
13. Click **Next**.
14. On the next screen, click **Next**.
15. Click the two checkboxes to search the repository for existing backups and import them automatically. Click **Apply**. Note that this will NOT download your previous backups to your local server.
16. Click **Next**.
17. Click **Finish.**
18. Once the Status shows Success, click **Close**.
