Veeam v12, does Wasabi support SOSAPI as I’m trying to create an archive tier. It looks like SOSAPI has to be used with archive. Is this correct?
Wasabi and SOSAPI

There aren’t a ton on services that use the SOSAPI yet. Some of the services listed as Veeam Ready for SOSAPI are local appliances or Software Defined such as Object First, Cloudian, Scality, and the like. I’m actually not sure if any of these are cloud-based services.

As for archive tier, I believe that Wasabi’s take is that it is unnecessary considering the low cost of their storage when used as a capacity tier.

I know that for Archive tiers, S3 Glacier and Azure Archive storage are compatible, but Veeam also lists “S3 Compatible” archive storage. There’s a couple other providers, but that list is very short.

So that all leads to, why do you think you need an archive tier? I ran the numbers once and Glacier was slightly cheaper as an archive tier than just keeping it in Wasabi as a capacity tier, but it was an inconsequential number unless you’re talking about massive amounts of data and didn’t seem to be worth the hassle.
