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.

 


@wolff.mateus - Thank you for sharing this information. If we use the same bucket for both Standard S3 and Glacier S3, could this help reduce data transfer costs? Specifically, will it help reduce costs since we are using an S3 private endpoint, and currently observe significant data transfer when moving data from S3 Standard to S3 Glacier?
