Set up storage settings

Choose the settings for the storage:

• Deduplication type - enable or disable data deduplication. For more details, please refer to the Deduplication documentation

• Archive type - enable or disable archive password protection. For more details, please refer to the Password-Protected Archives documentation

• Archive name pattern - configure the archive name pattern, which is used to generate the name of the backup archive. For more details, please refer to the Archive Name Pattern documentation

Provide Wasabi Bucket ARN

To upload backups to Wasabi, you need to have a bucket. You can find more information on how to create a bucket in the Wasabi documentation. You can use existing bucket if you already have one.

In the Step 1, provide the Bucket Region and Bucket ARN. Buckets from different regions have different service URLs, so it is important to select the correct region so that Cloudback can upload backups to your bucket.

Provide Wasabi Access Key ID and Access Key Secret

In the Step 2, provide the Access Key ID and Access Key Secret. These credentials are used to authenticate Cloudback with Wasabi. You can find more information on how to create Access Key in the Wasabi documentation.

Provide additional HTTP headers (Optional)

In the Step 3 field you can provide additional HTTP headers to be used when uploading backups to the bucket. The headers can be used to set the S3 Object Lock or S3 Object Tagging headers.

Save storage

Click on Save button to save the new storage. You can also use a Test button to check if the storage is configured correctly. After saving the storage, you can use it for storing backups of your repositories.

All storage settings can be changed later in the Storages page. To edit the storage settings, click on the Edit button next to the storage you want to edit.

Change the storage for a repository

You can change the storage for a particular repository in the Repository Details page. Also, you can assign it to multiple repositories through the Bulk Operations.
