About the Cloud

LiteSpeed supports backup and restore directly to and from the following.

Note: Cloud backup and restore is only available with the Enterprise license.

Microsoft Azure Blob

Microsoft Azure Blob storage is a cloud object storage that can be used to store any data, including SQL Server database backups. Information about the Microsoft Azure Blob is available at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/blobs/

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) cloud storage

Amazon S3 provides a fully redundant data storage infrastructure for storing and retrieving any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the Web. Information about the Amazon S3 is available at: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction.html.

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage is unified object storage for developers and enterprises, from live data serving to data analytics/ML to data archiving. LiteSpeed supports Multi-Regional, Regional, Nearline and Coldline storage types. More information on Google Cloud Storage is available at https://cloud.google.com/storage.

S3 Compatible Storage

S3 Compatible Storage provides access to S3 compatible storage by using Amazon S3 API SDK. Please refer to the storage documentation for compatibility between the storage and Amazon S3 API. Information about the Amazon S3 is available at:http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction.html.

Using the Cloud

LiteSpeed is able to:

  • backup to the cloud.
  • restore databases and specific objects from the cloud.
  • read transaction logs from the cloud.

Tip: Set the default compression level to 7 for cloud backups. Using a higher compression level has real savings. Reducing the number of bytes sent to the cloud makes for faster backups and restores and reduces Internet bandwidth.

You can get started using the cloud with LiteSpeed by first setting up your account with the cloud vendor and then registering that account with LiteSpeed.

Note:LiteSpeed contains all the necessary software and components necessary for running LiteSpeed backups and restores to / from the following cloud vendors.

Setting up a cloud account with the cloud vendor

The first step in using the cloud with LiteSpeed is to create your own Cloud account with the vendor.

To create an Amazon S3 account

  1. Setup your Amazon account by registering on: http://aws.amazon.com.

  2. Click the IAM icon on the Cloud administration console to create a Cloud user.

  3. The User Access Key IDs and Secret Access Keys are automatically generated.

  4. Write down and save the Access Key IDs and Secret Access Keys. You will use these values later in the LiteSpeed Cloud account registration.

  5. Select the Permissions tab in the Cloud admin console and assign user Administrator Access permissions.

  6. Use the Cloud admin console to create a Bucket Name and Region. This is the location where your backup files will be stored.

  7. Write down and save the Bucket Name and Region. You will use these values later in the LiteSpeed Cloud account registration.

  8. Use the following procedure to register your Amazon S3 Cloud account with LiteSpeed.

Note: Amazon changes their Cloud account Web UI on a regular basis. Therefore the actual icons, tabs, and selection buttons might be different than what is indicated in the procedures below.

Required minimum permissions: "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:PutObject", "s3:Get*", "s3:DeleteObject" ("s3:DeleteObject" is optional and not needed if they do not need to delete backups or use the LiteSpeed parameter “init=1.”)

To create a Microsoft Azure account

  1. Log in with your existing Microsoft credentials at: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/ to setup your initial free Microsoft Azure account.

  2. Click Sign up for a free trial.

  3. Complete the Microsoft Azure information page and click Sign up. The Welcome to Microsoft Azure web page is displayed.

  4. Click Start managing my service.

To create a Google Cloud Storage account

LiteSpeed uses Google Storage service accounts access Google Storage. More information about Google storage service accounts can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/access/service-accounts

To create a S3 Compatible Storage account

Please refer to the storage documentation. LiteSpeed uses Amazon S3 API SDK to connect S3 compatible storages.
