Using EL storage as a backup destination for QNAP NAS devices

You can use various tools to configure your QNAP device with EL storage as a backup destination. However, first you need to create a Wasabi account and access keys for authentication.

You can request a test account for EL storage here. Once you fill out the form, we will contact you as soon as possible.

After creating the account, you will need to create an Access Key pair in your Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage web console. To do this, log in to the web console with your account and click on "Access Key" in the Left Menu column.

Now follow these steps:

This key pair will be used to access your Wasabi Cloud Storage and will serve as authentication.

Now you need to create a bucket where you want to write the backup. To do this, select "Buckets" from the menu ribbon. You can now create a new bucket via the "CREATE BUCKET" button.

Next, you need to assign a unique name to your bucket and select your region (eu-central-1). If you have already created a bucket, you can apply the settings of the already created bucket to the new bucket via the "Quick Setup" function.

Now determine whether you want to enable "Bucket versioning" and/or "Bucket logging".

Finally, check your configuration and create the bucket via the "CREATE BUCKET" button.

For the following backup solutions you will find the appropriate setup instructions in the manufacturer documentation:
