# QNAP Hybrid Backup Sync 3 With Wasabi

[QNAP Hybrid Backup Sync 3 (HBS 3)](https://www.qnap.com/en/software/hybrid-backup-sync) has been validated for use with Wasabi. For information on how HBS 3 works with Wasabi, refer to [QNAP](https://wasabi.com/qnap). Follow the steps below to configure Wasabi as a backup destination and to restore data from Wasabi.

> The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As many variables can affect your unique environment, it is strongly recommended that you seek guidance from your backup software’s technical support team if you encounter difficulties or have application-specific inquiries.

## Requirements

- Active Wasabi Cloud Storage account (see [Create a Wasabi Account](https://wasabi.com/sign-up)).
- Wasabi bucket. Using Object Lock on your bucket is highly recommended from a security perspective so your data will be immutable. For more information, review [Working With Buckets and Objects](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects). This guide covers how to create the bucket directly in HBS 3.
- Access Key and Secret Key. For more information, review [Creating a User Account and Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key).
- QNAP NAS with [HBS 3 Hybrid Backup Sync](https://www.qnap.com/en/app_center/) installed and licensed. This solution was tested with HBS 3 version 26.3.0.226 and QuTScloud version c5.2.4.3041.
- Access to the [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/).

## Configuring a Wasabi Storage Space

Before creating a backup job, connect your Wasabi account to HBS 3 by adding it as a Storage Space. A Storage Space stores your Wasabi credentials and can be reused across multiple backup jobs.

1. Open **HBS 3 Hybrid Backup Sync** from the QNAP NAS console.

1. Log in to the [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/).
2. Click **Buckets**, then click your bucket’s name.
