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

  • Wasabi charges no egress fees, which makes it a good backup destination if you may need to restore from it
  • On "Pay as You Go", Wasabi has a minimum storage duration of 90 days. If you delete or overwrite a file earlier, Wasabi charges for the remaining days[1]
  • Choose a region close to your primary location for best transfer speeds
  • Wasabi "Pay as You Go" is flat-rate, starting at $7.99/TB a month, with no fees for egress or API requests. See the pricing page for current prices
