Testing methods - Encryption / Bucket access

Post by zachworms »

It would be nice if there as a method to do a test restore to make sure you have all the right information documented in order to restore from a cloud storage bucket like wasabi.
Idea being we do checks on our clients setups every x months.
To confirm that in the case of mass failure veeam machine blows up and configuration is lost..... that we have the right information documented we can reconnect to the bucket and get a backup off and encryption keys work.

We have a method that is quick with configurations. using restore function till it asks for passwords and testing
We have a method that is quick with backups. - using the extract program till it asks for passwords and testing
We dont' have a quick method that works with wasabi.
Looking for a way we can quickly test the information we need to connect to the wasabi bucket and if encryption is turned on to test that the key works without setting up another veeam instance or resetting up the repository.

Hi Zach

Testing bucket access keys —> no plans, but why not using a third party tool such as S3 Browser or Cyberduck to connect to the bucket with the key? No need for a backup server to test the connection.

Testing encryption keys —> our upcoming version 13 will provide a test option in the encryption password manager.
