Data Backup Storage in the Cloud
Backups are essential for protecting valuable data. Hardware failures and human error are inevitable no matter how many years of admin experience you have under your belt. The only surefire way to subvert disaster is to take preventative measures.
The industry-favorite “3-2-1 rule” of backup was coined by photographer Peter Krogh who said that there are two kinds of people: those who have had a hard drive failure, and those who will. The question is not if disaster will strike, but when.

Wasabi Cloud Storage: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Raidefend Technologies an official Egnyte partner?
Yes, Raidefend is Egnyte partner supporting customers in the UAE and across GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
What is Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage and why should my organization consider it?
Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage is a high‑performance, secure object storage service designed to provide simple, predictable, and affordable cloud storage without complex tiers. It offers enterprise‑grade performance and capacity for backup, archive and unstructured data at a fraction of the cost of traditional hyperscale cloud storage for many workloads.
How is Wasabi priced compared to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?
Wasabi uses a flat, capacity‑based pricing model where you pay a single low rate per terabyte of storage with no additional fees for egress or API requests, making bills simple and predictable. This model is typically up to around 80% less expensive than traditional hyperscalers for many storage‑heavy use cases, especially when data is frequently accessed or moved.
Does Wasabi charge for data egress or API calls?
No, Wasabi does not charge for data egress or API requests under its standard pricing and reserved capacity models, subject to its documented fair‑use policies. This allows organizations to access, move and restore their data freely, without worrying about hidden retrieval or API costs that can appear with other cloud providers
Is Wasabi compatible with our existing backup and storage tools (Veeam, MSP360, etc.)?
Yes, Wasabi is 100% compatible with the AWS S3 API, so most applications and backup tools that support S3 can use Wasabi simply by changing the endpoint and credentials. Many vendors, including leading backup platforms and S3‑compatible tools, already document and support Wasabi as a storage target, making integration straightforward.
How secure and durable is data stored on Wasabi?
Wasabi is engineered for 11 nines (99.999999999%) of object durability, using multiple redundant copies and continuous integrity checking to protect against data loss. It supports encryption in transit and at rest, strong identity and access management, multi‑factor authentication, and immutable storage features (such as S3 Object Lock and immutable buckets) to protect against accidental deletion, tampering and ransomware.
Does Wasabi support immutable storage for ransomware protection and compliance?
Yes, Wasabi provides immutable buckets and S3 Object Lock, allowing data to be written in a way that prevents modification or deletion for a defined retention period, even by administrators. This immutability capability helps organizations meet compliance requirements and strengthen their ransomware recovery posture by ensuring there is always a clean, untampered backup copy.
What are the main use cases Raidefend deploys on Wasabi for customers in the UAE and GCC?
Typical use cases include backup and disaster recovery for servers, VMs and cloud workloads, long‑term archive of files and databases, and protection of Microsoft 365 and other SaaS data using S3‑compatible backup tools. Wasabi is also well suited for storing large, unstructured datasets such as logs, media files, CCTV/video surveillance and compliance archives that need to be retained for years but remain quickly accessible.
Can Raidefend help migrate data from on‑premises storage or other clouds (e.g., AWS S3) to Wasabi?
Yes, Raidefend designs and executes migration plans that leverage Wasabi’s S3 compatibility and supported tools to move data from on‑premises storage or other S3‑compatible clouds with minimal disruption. Because Wasabi works with standard S3‑compatible tools and workflows, migrations can often be performed using familiar utilities and backup software while reducing long‑term storage and egress costs.
What billing and contract options does Raidefend offer for Wasabi in the UAE and GCC?
Raidefend can provide Wasabi on a flexible subscription basis aligned with Wasabi’s pay‑as‑you‑go or reserved capacity models, helping you choose the right capacity and term for your environment. For GCC customers, this allows local commercial engagement while taking advantage of Wasabi’s global storage infrastructure, predictable pricing and no‑egress‑fee model.
