I am currently in the process of seeking out a cheap method for getting all of my data in the cloud to protect my data against a disaster, and am currently eyeing AWS S3 Deep Archive. The documentation on setting up the cloud sync task in TrueNAS is clear for the most part. I plan to set up the task to sync my data to S3 - if I delete a file on my server, I want the file gone from the cloud too. However, the TrueNAS documentation says that TrueNAS is unable to delete files from AWS S3 Deep Archive, which makes sense given that files in that storage tier must remain there for at least 180 days to avoid extra fees.
With the above, I have two questions.
Any advice on this is much appreciated.
With the above, I have two questions.
- If I delete files on my server, how can I have the cloud sync task delete them from the cloud too? Does anyone know of an S3 bucket lifecycle configuration that can work in conjunction with the cloud sync task? I know that I can have a lifecycle configuration mark files as noncurrent after x number of days. But, does the cloud sync task automatically mark the existing files on the server as current again?
- When it comes to a complete restoration, I know that I can set the cloud sync task to PULL instead of PUSH. Does this also work with S3 Deep Archive? I read that one must move files from the Deep Archive tier to a more accessible tier in order to download them. Does the cloud sync task do this automatically?
