S3-Compatible Storage

Virteche object storage speaks the S3 API, so tools set up for Backblaze B2, Wasabi or Amazon S3 work with it once you change the endpoint, keys and region. Each plan is a flat monthly price with transfer included and no per-request fees, stored in the United States (West).

Moving a Bucket From B2, Wasabi or S3

  1. 1

    Create a bucket and keys

    Order a plan at least as large as what you store, then create the bucket in your dashboard and copy its access key and secret.
  2. 2

    Add Virteche as an rclone remote

    Keep the remote you already have for your current provider, and add one for Virteche:

    rclone config create virteche s3 provider Other endpoint https://s3.us-west.virteche.com region us-west \ access_key_id YOUR_KEY secret_access_key YOUR_SECRET force_path_style true no_check_bucket true
  3. 3

    Copy, then check

    rclone copy old:my-bucket virteche:my-bucket --progress rclone check old:my-bucket virteche:my-bucket

    Your current provider may charge for data read out of it; check before copying a large bucket. The full guide covers each provider's remote settings.

  4. 4

    Switch your applications

    Change the endpoint, keys and region in your backup tool or application, run it once, and restore a file to confirm. Keep the old bucket until you're satisfied.

Good to Know Before You Move

  • infoBuckets are private only: no public buckets or static website hosting yet.
  • infoNo versioning or Object Lock yet, so it does not suit backup software that requires immutable storage.
  • infoData is stored in one location in the western United States, not replicated to a second region.
  • infoPrefer SFTP, rsync or Borg? A storage box is in the same place, on the same flat pricing.

Questions

Will my S3 tools work?expand_more

Yes, if they let you set a custom S3 endpoint, which the AWS CLI and SDKs, rclone, restic, Kopia, Duplicati, Cyberduck and s3cmd all do. Use the endpoint, region us-west and path-style addressing. Multipart uploads and pre-signed links work as they do on S3.

Is there a charge per request or per download?expand_more

No. The monthly price includes as many requests as you make and monthly transfer equal to the plan size. Past the transfer allowance, uploads and downloads slow down; nothing extra is billed.

Can I make a bucket public or host a website from it?expand_more

Not yet. Every request needs your access key or a pre-signed link for a single object, so data is private by default.

Is there versioning or Object Lock?expand_more

Not yet. If your backup software needs immutable (locked) storage, as some Veeam setups do, this is not the right fit today. restic and Kopia keep their own snapshot history, so overwriting a file does not lose its older versions.

Where is the data stored?expand_more

In one location in the western United States, on mirrored drives with checksums that detect and repair silent corruption. It is not copied to a second region.
