# Cloudback Managed Storages

Cloudback provides a set of managed storages accessible to all clients. To adhere to data residency regulations, these storage facilities are located in various regions. Clients can freely select the storage option nearest to their location without incurring extra fees. By default, all backups are stored in the **Cloudback US** storage.

## Cloudback Managed Storage Properties

All Cloudback-managed storages share the following characteristics:

* **Password protection**: Always enabled. Every backup archive stored in a Cloudback-managed storage is encrypted with a unique, system-generated AES-256 password. This cannot be disabled for managed storages.
* **Deduplication**: Always enabled. Cloudback deduplicates backup data across all managed storages to minimize redundant storage usage.
* **Underlying provider**: Cloudback-managed storages are hosted on [Wasabi](https://wasabi.com/) S3-compatible object storage. Wasabi is not an AWS S3 service - it is a separate, S3-compatible provider.

## How to Change the Storage

The storage for a particular repository can be changed in the [Repository Details](/dashboard/repository-details.md) page. To change storage for multiple repositories at once, use [Bulk Operations](/managing-backups/bulk-operations.md).
