Adding an archive tier

To add an archive tier

  1. In the navigation menu, click Cloud Storage to expand the menu, then click Archive Tier.
  2. In the Archive Tier pane, click Configure to add a cloud tier.
  3. In the archive provider drop-down, select AWS S3.
  4. Provide the name for your S3 bucket.
  5. Enter your Connection String using one of the two methods below:
    • Default - this option will compile your connection string into the correct format using the inputs below.
      • Access key - The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
      • Secret key - The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
      • Region - The region specifies the Amazon-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Your region name can be obtained from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region
    • Custom - this option allows you to enter your connection string with additional parameters.
      • Your connection string uses the following syntax:
        "accesskey=<ABDCEWERS>;secretkey=< >; loglevel=warn; region=<aws-region>;"

        Please note the following:

        1. The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
        2. The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
        3. The region specifies the Amazon-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Your region name can be obtained from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region

        An example of a connection string with this syntax follows. Logically, each connection string is unique.

        accesskey=AKIARERFUCFODHFJUCWK;secretkey=p+8/T+o5WeZkX11QbuPazHX1IdWbwgFplxuVlO8J;loglevel=warn;region=eu-central-1;
  6. To apply encryption, in the Archive Tier Encryption section enter the following:

    • Passphrase — the passphrase is user-defined and is used to generate a passphrase key that encrypts the file in which the content encryption keys are kept. The passphrase is a human readable key, which can be up to 255 bytes in length. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption.

      IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable. If this passphrase is lost or forgotten, data in the cloud will be unrecoverable.

    • Confirm Passphrase — re-enter the passphrase used above.

  7. In the Archive Tier Options section, enter the following:
    • Archive Retention in Warm Cloud - When restore operation succeeds, a temporary copy of the Glacier object is created in standard S3 storage. This setting specifies the number of days this temporary copy is held in S3 before it is deleted. Valid values are any integral values from 1 through 365.
    • Archive Role ARN - S3 must have permissions to perform Lambda and batch operations on behalf of the user. An IAM role must be created that has "Create Job", "Pass Role" and other permissions to access the buckets as well as perform the Lambda and batch operations. The account admin is expected to create such roles.

      NOTE: For more information on required permissions and lambda and batch operations, refer to Configuring required permissions to restore from Archive Tier and the AWS documents Granting permissions for Amazon S3 Batch Operations, What is AWS Lambda?, and The basics: S3 Batch Operations.

    • Archive Service Name- Select between S3-Glacier or S3 Deep Archive.
  8. Click Configure. A Cloud Storage Group will be created.
  9. To enable replication to the cloud, you must link a local container to the cloud using the procedures in Adding a cloud tiering policy.

Editing an archive tier restore mode using the command line interface

If you create an archive tier after an upgrade to 7.1, the default mode of restores is Lambda. If the archive tier was been created prior to a 7.1 upgrade, the upgrade switches the restores from Batch operations to Lambda. You can change this option using the command line interface (CLI) or the user interface (UI).

To edit an archive tier restore mode using the command line interface

  1. To change an archive tier that was created before upgrading to QoreStor 7.1. go to the CLI and enter the following commands:

    Commands for editing restore mode

    cloud_tier --update [--cloud_password]
    [--cloud_archive]
    [--archive_retention_in_warm <1 to 365 days>]
    [--archive_role_arn <archive role arn>]
    [--archive_restore_type <Batch|Lambda>]
     
    [root@qorestor-ol82-tst1 ~]# cloud_tier --update --archive_role_arn arn:aws:iam::177436582181:role/IAMLambdaOps_Restrictive --archive_restore_type Lambda --cloud_archive
    Validating Role-arn string format for group name DefaultCloudArchiveTier ...
    Role-arn string format is valid  We do basic format validation for the role ARN string. We cannot validate permissions at the time of addition/update – AWS does that during restore operation itself.
    Archive Tier updated successfully.

    [root@qorestor-ol82-tst1 ~]# cloud_tier --show --verbose --cloud_archive

  2. To change the restore operations of an archive tier while adding the archive tier, go to the CLI and enter the following commands:

    Changing Archive Tier restore operations after upgrade

    cloud_tier --add --cloud_container <bucket name>
    --cloud_provider <AWS-S3|AZURE|Wasabi-S3|Google-S3|IBM-S3|S3-Compatible>
    [--cloud_archive_service <S3-Glacier|S3-Deep-Archive>]
    [--archive_retention_in_warm <1 to 365 days>]
    [--archive_role_arn <archive role arn>]
    [--archive_restore_type <Batch|Lambda>]
     
    [root@jayant-ol82-tst1 ~]# cloud_tier --add --cloud_container jayantcloud1 --cloud_provider AWS-S3 --cloud_archive_service S3-Glacier --archive_retention_in_warm 2 --archive_role_arn arn:aws:iam::177436582181:role/IAMLambdaOps –archive_restore_type=Lambda

Deleting an archive tier

Before deleting a archive tier, review the details below:

  • The metadata for the files archived to the cloud will be removed locally. This makes those files unrecoverable.
  • Data in the cloud bucket has to be deleted manually.
  • Archive policy settings on the source containers are unaffected.

Deleting an archive tier from the GUI

To delete an archive tier, complete the following steps.

  1. In the navigation menu, click Cloud Storage to expand the menu, then click Archive Tier.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. When prompted to confirm, click Delete.
  4. In the Passphrase field, enter the passphrase used for Archive Tier encryption. This provides validation that the person deleting the archive tier has the appropriate authorization.
  5. Review the containers linked to the archive tier and confirm that data in these containers can be deleted.
  6. Click Delete.

Deleting an archive tier from the CLI

  1. Access the QoreStor CLI. Refer to Using the QoreStor command line for more information.
  2. Delete your archive tier using the command below. Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information.
    cloud_tier --delete --cloud_archive
    
  3. At the prompt, enter y for yes and press [Enter].

Creating an archive tiering schedule

After you create an archive tier, you can schedule when you want data to transfer to the tier.

To add an archive tiering schedule

  1. In the navigation menu, expand Cloud Storage, and then click Archive Tier.

    The Archive Tier page displays.

  2. On the Archive Tier page, to reveal the scheduling options, click Schedule.
  3. For each day of the week, select a time range by completing the following steps:
    1. Click the From box, select a time to begin the schedule, and then click Set.
    2. Click the To box, select a time for the schedule to end, and then click Set.
  4. When finished, click Save.
  5. To hide the schedule options, click Schedule.
