# Vembu

Vembu BDRSuite backs up physical, virtual and cloud workloads. It can store backups in a Zata bucket that you add as an **S3 Compatible** object storage repository.

## Before you start

* A bucket for the backups. See [Create a bucket](/buckets/create-a-bucket).
* An access key from the same region as the bucket. See [Access keys](/access/access-keys).
* Vembu BDRSuite installed. [Download BDRSuite](https://www.vembu.com/) and see the [installation guide](https://www.bdrsuite.com/guide/vembu-bdr-suite/7-0/en/bdr-installation-windows.html).

| DC Region        | `us-east-1`, or leave it empty (Zata does not check the region name)                                                    |
| Credential       | Access key and secret key from **Access Keys** in the Zata console. The key must be from the same region as the bucket. |

## Set up BDRSuite

#### Open Object Storage

In the BDRSuite web console, open **Infrastructure** → **Backup Repository** → **Object Storage** and click **Create New Object Storage Repository**.

#### Fill in the repository

Enter a **Repository Name**, set **Repository Type** to **S3 Compatible**, and choose whether it is the default repository. Enter the **Service Endpoint** and **DC Region** from the table above.

Next to **Credential**, click **Add New Credentials** and enter a display name, your access key and your secret key.

## Test it

Create a small backup job with the Zata repository as its destination and run it. Then restore one file to confirm the backup can be recovered.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                       | Fix                                                                                                                                   |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The bucket does not appear in **Bucket Name** | Check that the **Service Endpoint** matches the bucket's region and the key can use the bucket. A sub-user's key cannot list buckets. |
| Access denied or invalid credentials          | Copy the keys again from **Access Keys** and check that the key is active.                                                            |
| Creating the repository times out             | Allow outbound HTTPS (port 443) from the BDRSuite server to the Zata endpoint.                                                        |
