Wasabi
************
******
`Wasabi <https://wasabi.com>`__ is a low cost Amazon S3 conformant object storage provider.
Due to its S3 conformance, Wasabi can be used as a storage provider for a restic repository.
S3 storage from `Wasabi <https://wasabi.com>`__ can be used as follows.
- Create a Wasabi bucket using the `Wasabi Console <https://console.wasabisys.com>`__.
- Determine the correct Wasabi service URL for your bucket `here <https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015106031-What-are-the-service-URLs-for-Wasabi-s-different-regions->`__.
You must first setup the following environment variables with the
credentials of your Wasabi account.
- Set environment variables with the necessary account credentials
.. code-block:: console
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR-WASABI-ACCESS-KEY-ID>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR-WASABI-SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
Now you can easily initialize restic to use Wasabi as a backend with
this command.
.. code-block:: console
$ ./restic -r s3:https://<WASABI-SERVICE-URL>/<WASABI-BUCKET-NAME> init
enter password for new repository:
enter password again:
created restic repository xxxxxxxxxx at s3:https://<WASABI-SERVICE-URL>/<WASABI-BUCKET-NAME>
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is irrecoverably lost.
$ restic -r s3:https://<WASABI-SERVICE-URL>/<WASABI-BUCKET-NAME> init
Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) Object Storage System (OSS)
**************************************************
`Alibaba OSS <https://www.alibabacloud.com/product/object-storage-service>`__ is an
encrypted, secure, cost-effective, and easy-to-use object storage
service that enables you to store, back up, and archive large amounts
of data in the cloud.
Alibaba OSS is S3 compatible so it can be used as a storage provider
for a restic repository with a couple of extra parameters.
S3 storage from `Alibaba OSS <https://www.alibabacloud.com/product/object-storage-service>`__ can be used as follows.
- Determine the correct `Alibaba OSS region endpoint <https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/object-storage-service/latest/regions-and-endpoints>`__ - this will be something like ``oss-eu-west-1.aliyuncs.com``
- You'll need the region name too - this will be something like ``oss-eu-west-1``
You must first setup the following environment variables with the
credentials of your Alibaba OSS account.
- You will need the region name too - this will be something like ``oss-eu-west-1``
- Set environment variables with the necessary account credentials
.. code-block:: console
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR-OSS-ACCESS-KEY-ID>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR-OSS-SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
Now you can easily initialize restic to use Alibaba OSS as a backend with
this command.
.. code-block:: console
$ ./restic -o s3.bucket-lookup=dns -o s3.region=<OSS-REGION> -r s3:https://<OSS-ENDPOINT>/<OSS-BUCKET-NAME> init
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend xxxxxxxxxx at s3:https://<OSS-ENDPOINT>/<OSS-BUCKET-NAME>
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is irrecoverably lost.
For example with an actual endpoint:
.. code-block:: console
$ restic -o s3.bucket-lookup=dns -o s3.region=oss-eu-west-1 -r s3:https://oss-eu-west-1.aliyuncs.com/bucketname init
$ restic -o s3.bucket-lookup=dns -o s3.region=<OSS-REGION> -r s3:https://<OSS-ENDPOINT>/<OSS-BUCKET-NAME> init
