There are two ways QoreStor lets you use cloud storage containers: as secondary, policy-based storage or as primary storage with optimized deduplication.
Policy-based cloud storage is available to any compatible backup software. It requires that you configure a schedule for when QoreStor automatically transfers backups to cloud storage.
There are three purposes for using policy-based cloud storage:
For replication and tiering, the cloud storage group remains online, keeping the data accessible. For archiving, QoreStor uses offline Glacier storage, which is designed to store data for longer terms.
For more information about creating a cloud or archive tier, see Cloud tiering.
Direct-to-cloud storage is the feature that QoreStor offers which lets you store backed up data directly to a cloud container. The container can be in either the cloud storage group or the archive storage group. This feature is available only for NetVault backups. After you create the RDS container, you can enter the name of this container in the NetVault GUI as your primary storage location. QoreStor then automatically saves the backups to the cloud, performing optimized deduplication them during the process. Because the backups go directly to the container, QoreStor does not use the policy manager.
When you back up data from NetVault to a direct cloud container, the container behaves the same as any other QoreStor RDS container. The data is easily accessible, which lets you perform the following operations:
For more information about creating a direct-to-cloud container, see Configuring an RDS direct-to-cloud container.
Direct cloud containers include the following limitations:
You can configure an RDS container as a direct-to-cloud container using either the QoreStor UI or the command line interface (CLI).
To add a direct cloud container in the QoreStor UI
The container appears on the Cloud Storage page and available to use as storage from the NetVault UI.
To configure a direct-to-cloud container using the CLI
container --add --name K<name> --group_name DefaultCloudTier
container --add --name K<name> --group_name DefaultCloudArchiveTier
The container appears on the Cloud Storage page of the QoreStor UI and available to use as storage from the NetVault UI.
You can add a cloud tier to QoreStor through either the QoreStor GUI or the command line interface. For more information on Cloud Storage Groups and cloud replication, refer to the topics below:
