Adding Wasabi Accounts
Add a Wasabi account to NAKIVO Backup & Replication as described in the sections below.
Creating Wasabi Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
Prior to adding your Wasabi account to the inventory, you need to create and retrieve a Wasabi Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. They are used by NAKIVO Backup & Replication to sign the programmatic requests sent to Wasabi, such as retrieving the list of instances, creating snapshots, and etc.
To create a Wasabi Access Key ID and a Secret Access Key, follow the steps below:
-
If you don't have a Wasabi account, create a new one at wasabi.com/sign-up/
-
Log in to your Wasabi account.
-
Navigate to the main menu and click Access Keys.
-
Click Create New Access Key.
-
In the dialog box that opens, select one of the following:
-
Root user: Select this option and click Create.
-
Sub-User: Select a sub-user from the Assign to a user drop-down list and click Create. Note that the original user access key of the selected user will be changed.
Note
To use the Sub-User option, you need to have at least one user created in your Wasabi account. For details, refer to Creating a User and How do I set up Wasabi for user access separation?
