# Object Replication

This article describes the procedure to use Wasabi Object Replication to replicate objects from one region to another within the **same** continent. This can be used torecover from natural disasters or other events in a region.

## Prerequisites

- Active Wasabi Cloud Storage account.
- Active CTERA storage node pointing to a Wasabi bucket.
- Existing files reside in a Wasabi *source* bucket.

## High-level Steps

1. [Sign up for notifications](/v1/docs/object-replication-1#sign-up-for-object-replication-notifications) to be sent to your account email address.
2. [Create a Wasabi *destination* bucket](/v1/docs/object-replication-1#create-the-wasabi-destination-bucket) where the source bucket will be replicated to.
3. [Create an object replication job](/v1/docs/object-replication-1#create-an-object-replication-job) on the source bucket pointing to thedestination bucket.
4. In the case of a disaster, see [Recovering from a Storage Disaster](/v1/docs/recovering-from-a-storage-disaster-1).

## Sign Up for Object Replication Notifications

Signing up for notifications will allow you to receive information about any objectreplication failures as well as when the initial replication has finished.

1. Login to the Wasabi Console.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. Click **Notifications**.
4. Next to **Object Replication**, slide **Email Notifications** on.
5. Enter your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) code in the **MFA Code** field.
6. Click **Save Changes**.

## Create the Wasabi Destination Bucket

The *destination* bucket is the bucket that the *source* bucket will replicate to.

1. In the Wasabi Console, navigate to **Buckets** and search for the source bucket.
2. Choose the region within the same continent for the destination bucket.
3. Click **Create Bucket**.
4. Enter a name for the destination bucket.
5. Select the region for the bucket.
**Note**

The destination bucket region must be in the same continent as the source bucket region. For example, if the source region is **us-east-1**, the destination region can be any of the **Americas** regions, like **us-west-2** but it cannot be an EMEA region like **eu-central-1**.
6. Click **CreateBucket**.

## Create an Object Replication Job

1. In the **Buckets** page click the name of the *source* bucket.
2. Click the **Settings**, ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-K47XCB93.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A51%3A49Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A51%3A49Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Rt8JMSXaQOwpTGPuhm1TcTZgQLZjZZ5CusIiZBdubgk%3D), icon.
3. Click the **Object Replication** tab.
4. Click **Create Replication Job**.
5. Choose the replication type, either **Replication to a bucket within this account** or **Replication to a bucket in another account**.
6. Enter a name for the replication job and the destination bucket created in [Create the Wasabi Destination Bucket](/v1/docs/object-replication-1#create-the-wasabi-destination-bucket).  

Check **Sync Deleted Objects.** to allows CTERA to control the lifecycle of the source bucket.
**Note**

Files that deleted from the source bucket will also be deleted from the destination bucket. :::
7. Click **Create**.

The objects in the source bucket will now begin to replicate to the destination bucket.

You receive an email when the initial replication completes.
