# Wasabi Object Replication With Comet Backup

[Comet Backup](https://cometbackup.com/) has been validated for use with Wasabi.

This article describes the procedure to use [Wasabi Object Replication](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/bucket-replication) to replicate objects from one region to another within the same continent. This can be used to recover from natural disasters or other events in a region.

> [!NOTE]
> 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**

- Active & Licensed [Comet Account](https://cometbackup.com/signup).
- Comet Server and Client Backup Software. This solution was most recently tested with version 26.1.3 "Iapetus".
- Active [Wasabi Cloud Storage account](https://wasabi.com/sign-up).
- Active Comet backup jobs pointing to a Wasabi bucket.
- Existing backups reside in non-Object-Locked (non-immutable) "source" bucket. Object Lock is not supported in this scenario.
- The password for your backups.

## **High-Level Steps**

Follow the high-level steps below to implement Object Replication from a source bucket to a destination bucket in another region with Comet Backup. These are detailed further in the sections below.

1. Sign up for notifications to be sent to your account email address.
2. Create a Wasabi "destination" bucket where the source bucket will be replicated to.
3. Configure an object replication job on the source bucket pointing to the destination bucket.
4. In the case of a disaster, a recovery may be performed from the destination bucket.

## **Sign Up for Object Replication Notifications**

Signing up for notifications will allow you to receive information about any object replication failures.

1. Login to the [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/).
2. Navigate to **Settings**, then click **Notifications**. Next to Object Replication, enable **Email Notification**. Enter your MFA code and click **Save Changes**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-23_at_9_31_42 AM.png)
3. Click **Save Changes** in the popup window. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-23_at_9_32_52 AM.png)

## **Create the Wasabi Destination Bucket**

The "destination" bucket is the bucket that the "source" bucket will replicate to.

1. Navigate to **Buckets** and locate the source bucket. Note the region of the source bucket. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_41_42 PM.png)
2. Choose the region within the same continent for the destination bucket

> [!NOTE]
> This configuration example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-1 storage region for the source and us-west-2 for the destination. For a list of regions, see [Available Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/where-is-my-data-stored-and-how-are-wasabis-storage-regions-secured#available-storage-regions).
3. Navigate to **Buckets**, then click **Create Bucket**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_41_42 PM-2.png)
4. Enter the destination bucket name, select the region for the bucket, and click **Create Bucket**.

> [!NOTE]
> Leave Object Replication disabled (default setting). The replication will be configured later on the source bucket.

## **Create an Object Replication Job**

1. Navigate to **Buckets** and click the name of the SOURCE bucket. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_41_42 PM-3.png)
2. Click the Settings gear wheel on the right side of the screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_41_50 PM.png)
3. Click the **Object Replication** tab, then click **Create Replication Job**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_42_22 PM.png)
4. Select the Replication Type. For this example we are selecting "Replicate to a bucket within this account." Give the job a name, and click in the Destination Bucket text field to select the destination bucket. Click the checkbox next to "Sync Deleted Objects." This allows Comet Backup to control the backup lifecycle of the source bucket, and older backups that Comet Backup deletes from the source bucket will also be deleted from the destination bucket. Then click **Create**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-28_at_1_43_00 PM.png)
5. The objects in the source bucket will now begin to replicate to the destination. There is no ETA for completion as this depends on many factors, such as the number of objects, frequency of backups, etc. You will receive an email saying the replication has begun, as well as an email when the existing objects have all been replicated as shown below. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/Screenshot_2026-04-29_at_11_36_38 AM.png)
