As always we are adding features to make it easier for our
customers to use the functionality to offer the most compelling Amazon S3 , CloudFront , IAM and Glacier client on Windows platform.
Amazon S3 has recently released the functionality that allows
easily Archive Amazon S3 data to Amazon Glacier low cost storage. With the
latest release of CloudBerry Explorer freeware you can take full advantage of
that functionality. Right click on the
bucket and click Archive to Glacier from context menu
The Bucket lifecycle policy dialog box will open.
Click add to create a rule, specify the path and the number
of days or a specific date when you'd like to move the files to
Glacier. In addition you can indicate if
you want to enable the rule right away.
Note, you can also manage Object Expiation with this dialog. Learn more about Object Expiration here. Take into account that Object Expiration policy will delete the files permanently with no way to restore them.
Click OK to create the rule.
Note. The data will look like it stays on S3, but actually it will go to Glacier. It will have the Storage Class = GLACIER, check out the screenshot below. It may take more than 24 hours for the Lifecycle policy to apply.

Does this allow retrieval as well or just putting into Glacier? The biggest issue with retrieval currently is unless you tell it every four hours to download a piece equal to the time you're willing to have it take to restore, you're going to pay a high price to restore it. Are there any plans for adding any functionality to automate the restore command to only restore a small part of what you wish to restore over several days, weeks, months? Thanks.
Hi Brian,
yes, it also supports retrieval ,the more intelligent retrieval is coming
Thanks
Andy
Hi Andy,
How do you do the retrieval?
To do the retrieval just do the copy and the product will run a retrieval job for you behind the scene. you will need to wait ~5hrs though.
Hi Andy. I see you guys added smart retrieval to your backup software. However, I do not see anything similar for the explorer. I'm assuming this is still coming? When it does come, will it require that I have a bunch of small files in order to split up the request over time or can it operate on the block level of a file? Thanks.
Hi Brian
the smart restore is coming to Explorer very soon. it will take advantage of the new Range Retrievals functionality.
