Hello, Hope things are well,
We have a Rapid Recovery core archiving to s3 storage and was looking to have a discussion on it.
I was curious how we could have archive data in the s3 storage have shorter retention but still have a daily backup to the cloud. Is there a way to roll up the data in the cloud?
Also, I noticed that with 10-12+ machines and incremental daily backups for longer than 90-180 days may take a significant time to attach or retrieve data from.
I found schedule archive options in the documentation here to reference. Here are some of the options.
| Daily | At time | Select the hour of the day you want to create a daily archive. |
| Weekly | At day of week | Select a day of the week on which to automatically create the archive. |
| At time | Select the hour of the day you want to create an archive. | |
| Monthly | At day of months | Select the day of the month on which to automatically create the archive. |
| At time | Select the hour of the day you want to create an archive. |
| Replace this Core | Overwrites any pre-existing archived data pertaining to this Core but leaves the data for other Cores intact. |
| Erase completely | Clears all archived data from the directory before writing the new archive. |
| Incremental | Lets you add recovery points to an existing archive. It compares recovery points to avoid duplicating data that exist in the archive. |
I have set individual s3 locations for bigger protected machines. Wondering if there is a maximum archive size, if left running it can grow to 100ks of files and alot of folders, 10tbs of data.
