# Backing Up Object Storage to Wasabi

Wasabi is a member of Veeam's cloud partner ecosystem. Wasabi has worked with Veeam closely to offer both a seamless implementation and a smooth transition to cloud storage. [Veeam with Wasabi Solution Overview](https://wasabi.com/veeam/) provides more information on the Wasabi-Veeam partnership and solutions.

Veeam's Backup and Replication version 12.1 adds a new feature to protect production data residing in both on-premises and cloud object storage. This article provides the procedure to back up object storage directly to Wasabi.

> [!WARNING]
> The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As many, potential variables will affect your unique environment, Wasabi strongly recommends that you seek the guidance of your backup software's technical support team if you encounter difficulty or have application-specific inquiries.

> [!NOTE]
> If you are going to leverage immutable Veeam backups, follow the steps in [Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking).
> 
> 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.

## Requirements

- Active Wasabi Storage account.
- A Wasabi bucket, along with access and secret keys to access the bucket. Review [S3 Object storage permissions](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/required_permissions.html?ad=in-text-link#amazon-s3-object-storage-permissions) to provide the correct permissions to the user who will access the Wasabi bucket.
- Veeam Backup and Replication version 12.1 software is installed and licensed. The object backup feature is available starting with version 12.1. For other release versions, refer to [Veeam With Wasabi](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/how-do-i-use-veeam-with-wasabi).
- A valid Veeam license that supports capabilities for object storage.
- Object storage to be backed.
