Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage for Backup

TechNext IT uses Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as an offsite backup target for businesses. Fast, affordable cloud storage for Veeam backups and data protection.

Offsite backup only works if the storage behind it is fast, reliable, and affordable enough to actually use properly.

Many businesses skip offsite backup or settle for limited cloud storage because the big-name providers charge too much for the volume of data they need to protect. TechNext IT uses Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as the offsite backup target for our clients because it delivers the speed and reliability of premium cloud storage at a fraction of the cost.

What is Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage?

Wasabi is a cloud storage provider that offers S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees, no API request charges, and no tiered pricing. Unlike services like AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage where costs scale with how often you access your data, Wasabi charges a flat rate per terabyte stored. That makes it predictable and significantly cheaper for backup workloads where you need to store large volumes of data and access it quickly when a restore is needed.

Wasabi stores data across multiple availability zones with 11 nines of durability, meaning your data is extremely well protected against hardware failure on their end.

Who Wasabi is for

Any business that needs offsite cloud backup storage without the unpredictable costs of traditional cloud providers. That includes businesses using Veeam for backup who need an offsite target, organisations with large data volumes that would be expensive to store on AWS or Azure, and any business that wants the peace of mind of knowing their backups exist in a completely separate location from their office and local hardware.

How we use Wasabi

We integrate Wasabi into our clients’ backup strategies as the offsite cloud storage layer. It works alongside Veeam and local Synology backups to provide a complete, multi-location data protection solution.

Offsite Veeam backup target storing a copy of your server, workstation, and Microsoft 365 backups in the cloud
Immutable storage configured so backups cannot be deleted or modified by ransomware that has compromised your network
Synology cloud sync replicating local NAS data to Wasabi for offsite protection
Predictable monthly costs with no surprise fees for retrieving data when you need to restore
Australian data residency with storage available in the Sydney region for compliance and latency requirements
Encryption in transit and at rest so your data is protected throughout its lifecycle

Why businesses trust TechNext IT with Wasabi

Cloud storage is a commodity. The value is in how it is integrated into your overall backup and recovery strategy.

We design the full backup architecture. Wasabi is one layer in a multi-location strategy that includes local backups on Synology, cloud backups on Wasabi, and tested recovery procedures.
We configure immutable storage. Backups stored on Wasabi are locked so they cannot be tampered with, even if your network is compromised.
We monitor backup completion daily. Every offsite backup job is checked to make sure your data is actually reaching Wasabi and is recoverable.
We keep costs predictable. Wasabi’s flat pricing means no bill shock when you need to restore data, and we right-size your storage allocation as your data grows.

Projects we deliver with Wasabi

Wasabi is typically deployed as part of a broader backup and disaster recovery project, adding the offsite layer that many businesses are missing.

Offsite backup implementation — Adding Wasabi as a cloud backup target for a business that currently only has local backups, providing protection against site-level disasters like fire, flood, or theft
Immutable backup configuration — Configuring Wasabi with object lock so backup copies cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware, adding a final layer of defence to the backup strategy
Backup cost reduction — Migrating offsite backups from an expensive cloud provider like AWS or Azure to Wasabi for significant monthly savings without compromising reliability or speed
Microsoft 365 offsite backup — Storing Veeam backups of Microsoft 365 data (email, SharePoint, OneDrive) on Wasabi so the business has an independent, recoverable copy outside of Microsoft

Common questions we get from businesses about Wasabi. If yours isn't answered here, get in touch and we'll help.

Can Wasabi store data in Australia?

Yes. Wasabi has a storage region in Sydney, which means your data stays in Australia. This is important for businesses with data residency or compliance requirements that prevent data from being stored overseas.

How much does Wasabi cost?

Wasabi charges a flat monthly rate per terabyte of storage with no additional fees for downloading or accessing your data. The exact cost depends on your storage volume. It is typically 70 to 80 per cent cheaper than equivalent storage on AWS or Azure for backup workloads.

What is the difference between Wasabi and AWS S3?

Both are S3-compatible cloud storage, but Wasabi charges a flat rate per terabyte with no egress or API fees. AWS S3 charges for storage, data retrieval, and API requests, which can make costs unpredictable, especially for backup workloads where you may need to restore large amounts of data. For most backup use cases, Wasabi is significantly cheaper.

Is my data safe on Wasabi?

Yes. Wasabi stores data with 11 nines of durability across multiple availability zones. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. When combined with immutable storage configuration, your backups cannot be tampered with even if your local network is compromised.
