Wasabi Object Replication enables you to replicate or copy your data between Wasabi regions to protect against ransomware attacks, malicious data manipulation, natural disasters, or even accidental deletion. Object replication enables you to replicate/copy objects from an active storage bucket (source) to one or more different buckets (destination).
Replicating an Existing Bucket
Log in to the Wasabi Console.
Create a new bucket as the destination for the replication. For more information, see Creating A Bucket.
Navigate to the source bucket that contains the backups to be replicated.
Click Settings (gear icon) to open bucket settings.
Select Object Replication.
Click Create Replication Job.
Provide a name for the replication job.
Select the bucket that you created in Step 1 as the Destination Bucket.
Click Create.
The replication will begin shortly. Depending on the size of the data, this may take time.
Once the replication completes, you will receive an email and the replicated data will be visible in the new bucket.
