It's very easy and works as you expected:

  • Create a usable bucket (get region, account, access/secret key pair details and make sure it works from another client)
  • Get S3 API endpoint FQDN for your bucket from the Wasabi help pages
  • Backup (or restore) SolidFire volumes as usual

I am in APAC so I picked one of two Wasabi APAC regions (ap-northeast-2) and my S3 API endpoint was s3.ap-northeast-2.wasabisys.com.

Both backup and restore worked fine. If you'd like to automate SolidFire backup to S3, check this post that has enough information to get you started with PowerShell and Python.

There's also a reference backup automation workflow for SolidFire backup to S3 called solidbackup which you can use or reference for more complex automation. Its default "engine" uses Restic which works with Wasabi.

Update

This post examines SolidFire Backup to S3 with Wasabi S3 Object Lock.
