I’m finding it very diffcult to find a configuration guide to setup an SOBR that offloads to AWS S3 Glacier archive tier. I understand the concepts but have no experience with AWS. Does anyone know of any guides that get down to the nuts and bolts of setting up the AWS infrastrcture? As I said, I’m new to AWS so need basics like how to apply permissions to resources (i.e. buckets) for users/groups. I’m looking for something on that level.

This should cover a lot of the Amazon stuff with Veeam and it is their documentation site - Back up and archive data to Amazon S3 with Veeam Backup & Replication - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

You can also watch @Julia F Morgado videos she is posting here in the Cloud City group or ask her questions as she is an AWS guru.  😁

For the nuts and bolts of permissions, here’s the IAM policy you need to use:

That KB has a link to the section in the documentation if you need further details.

I hope this helps.

One thing you need to remember is that you use the same bucket for both layers (Standard S3 and Glacier S3).

When I start using the archive option I thought 2 buckets are necessaries.
