BACK UP SQL TO WASABI
SQL Backup Master can be configured to back up your Microsoft SQL Server databases to Wasabi through their S3-compatible service endpoint.
Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage has emerged as a leading alternative to Amazon S3, offering a compelling combination of high performance and predictable, low-cost pricing. It is fully compatible with the S3 API, which allows SQL Backup Master's powerful "S3 Compatible" destination type to connect to it seamlessly. This is an ideal solution for businesses looking to implement a robust off-site backup strategy without incurring the variable data egress or API request fees charged by other providers.
Configuring SQL Backup Master to use Wasabi is a simple process. First, you will need to generate a new API key pair from within your Wasabi account console. This will provide you with the two necessary credentials:
- An Access Key: This is entered into the "Access Key" field in our software.
- A Secret Key: This is entered into the "Secret Key" field.
Next, and most importantly, you must provide the correct service URL for the region where your Wasabi storage bucket is located (e.g., s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com). As shown in the screenshot, these details are entered into the S3 Compatible destination settings. Once configured, you can automate your SQL backup jobs with full confidence. The combination of SQL Backup Master's scheduling and compression with Wasabi's disruptive pricing model provides a powerful, reliable, and extraordinarily cost-effective solution for protecting your critical SQL Server data.
