Ive been asked to look into moving our current onsite backup to the cloud. We are running B&R v10 at the moment and we currently backup to a SAN, and i want the job directly to backup to the AWS s3 bcuket. From what i read it appears that i cant directly backup our local servers to the s3 bucket. Is this correct? Does B&R v11 allow direct backup to s3?
Assuming the above is correct i read that i have to create a capacity tier and then target the s3 via that.
From that image above, question i had was:
A) with the option selected Backup jobs at performance tier, they get copied to this S3 bucket rather then moved? (so in theory i will have a set of data on my san as well as on the s3 bucket) If so when I do restore of data, does it restore from the performance tier rather then s3 bucket?
b) Will the data in the s3 bucket will have same policy applied? i.e data will be removed x amount of days as per set in the performance tier?
c) If my performance tier goes down, how can I restore data from the s3 bucket?
Thank you.
