This article describes how to back up and restore AWS S3 buckets using AWS APIs.
You can use a NAS proxy, which now supports AWS S3 vendor, to back up and restore AWS S3 buckets. Simply deploy the NAS agent on a Linux/Ubuntu EC2 instance, and it will act as the proxy for AWS S3 backups/restores.
Here are the key benefits of using AWS APIs for backing up and restoring AWS S3 buckets:
Cost savings: By using AWS SDKs for actions like listing, reading, and writing S3 objects, there is no need for a File Gateway, reducing overall costs. Refer to the FAQs section for more details on AWS SDK APIs.
Efficient backups and restores: S3 object properties, such as S3 Object Tags, ACLs, and so on, are backed up for efficient backup and restore operations.
Data protection: Protects against threats like ransomware, user errors, and compromised credentials.
📝 Note
We only support the AWS S3 Standard storage tier type for backup and restore.
