4 4 3 Grolar:S3 Cloud Storage Restore
Overview
As of SEP sesam v. 4.4.3 Grolar you can use Amazon S3 (simple storage solution) cloud storage to safely store and retrieve your business data. Restoring from Amazon S3 is quite similar to a regular file system restore. Restore wizard guides you through the process of restoring your data. For step-by-step procedure, see Standard Restore Procedure.
Note that in case the data you want to restore is not available on local S3 store anymore, Si3 data files will be downloaded from S3 cloud storage to local store first.
Restoring from Amazon S3
Create a new restore task for the data you want to restore.
- From the SEP sesam GUI menu bar, select Activities -> Restore. The New restore task window opens.
- Select what you want to restore. You can search save sets by task name or by filename or path.
- Under the Saved in period drop-down lists, specify the time frame for which you want to conduct the search. Click Next.
- The search results are displayed. From the list of save sets matching your query, click the version you want to restore. Click Next. File:S3 restore select task.png
- Review your restore task configuration and set additional restore options in the final Save and Start step of the wizard.
- Under the Target Path Settings, select one of the following options:
- Restore to the original target path (set by default): Restores the data to the same location from which it was backed up. If it is set together with the option overwrite existing files the target database will be deleted first and a new one will be created from the backup save set.
- If you select the option New restore target , enter its target path or browse for it.
- Under the Execution options drop-down list, select one of the following options:
- do not overwrite existing files (set by default): The database will not be restored if it already exists on the set target.
- overwrite existing files: If the database exists on the target server, it will be replaced by the restored version.
- If you want to start your database restore immediately, click Start. If you want to save the restore task, click Save.
A restore task can be scheduled like any other task. If you want to add a restore task to the schedule, see Scheduling Restore.
