Blober automatically detects the region for each bucket.

## Troubleshooting

### "Access Denied" error

* Verify your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key are correct
* If using a sub-user key, ensure it has permissions for the buckets you need

### Buckets from certain regions not showing

* Blober auto-discovers buckets across all Wasabi regions
* If a bucket was just created, wait a moment and refresh

## Best Practices

* **No egress fees** - Wasabi is great as a backup destination you may need to restore from
* Wasabi has a **minimum 90-day storage policy** - deleting files before 90 days still incurs the full charge
* Choose a region close to your primary location for best transfer speeds
* Wasabi pricing is flat: $7.99/TB/month (or lower by region) with no API call charges
