help Wasabi B2 FAQ
What is Wasabi B2 used for in a backup setup?
Wasabi B2 is an S3-compatible object-storage backend for applications such as Veeam Backup & Replication. It is raw storage, so retention policies, encryption, and backup scheduling are configured in the backup software.
Does Wasabi B2 work with Veeam Backup & Replication?
Yes, its S3 compatibility makes it suitable for Veeam backup repositories and object-storage workflows. The exact setup depends on the Veeam edition and whether you use direct object storage or a capacity-tier design.
Is Wasabi B2 different from a managed backup service?
Yes. Wasabi B2 stores backup data but does not replace backup planning, monitoring, or recovery testing. You still need to configure Veeam jobs and verify that restores work.
Who is Wasabi B2 best suited to?
It suits developers, system administrators, and technical teams that want a programmable S3-compatible storage layer. It is less suitable for someone seeking a fully managed backup service with setup and recovery handled by a vendor.
