Specify Cloud Configuration for Restore

Note: The following procedure only applies if you are restoring a file/folder from a file copy cloud location.

From the Browse File Copies option or the Find Files/Folders to Restore option, click the Configure button to display the Cloud Configuration dialog.

Cloud Configuration Dialog - File Copy Restore

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Cloud Configuration dialog, use the drop-down menu to select which cloud vendor type you want to restore from. The available options are Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure), and Eucalyptus-Walrus. (Amazon S3 is the default vendor). For more information about Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure), see the Overview and Registration.

    Note: After encoding the bucket name, if the path length is greater than 170 characters, Eucalyptus-Walrus will not be able to copy files.

  2. Specify the Configuration Options.

    The configuration options for each cloud vendor are similar (with some different terminology), and any differences are described.

    1. Specify the Connection Settings:
      Vendor URL

      Identifies the URL address of the cloud provider.

      (For Amazon S3, Windows Azure, and Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure), the Vendor URL is automatically pre-populated. For Eucalyptus-Walrus, the Vendor URL must be manually entered using the specified format).

      Access Key ID/Account Name/Query ID

      Identifies the user who is requesting access this location.

      (For this field, Amazon S3 uses Access Key ID, Windows Azure and Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure) use Account Name, and Eucalyptus-Walrus uses Query ID).

      Secret Access Key/Secret Key

      Because your Access Key is not encrypted, this Secret Access Key is a password that is used to verify the authenticity of the request to access this location.

      Important! This Secret Access Key is crucial for maintaining the security of your accounts. You should keep your keys and your account credentials in a secure location. Do not embed your Secret Access Key in a web page or other publicly accessible source code and do not transmit it over insecure channels.

      (For this field, Amazon S3 uses Secret Access Key. Windows Azure, Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure), and Eucalyptus-Walrus use Secret Key).

      Enable Proxy

      If you select this option, you must also include the IP address (or machine name) of the proxy server and the corresponding port number that is used by the proxy server for internet connections. You can also select this option if your proxy server requires authentication. You then must provide the corresponding authentication information (Username and Password) that is required to use the proxy server.

      (Proxy capability is not available for Eucalyptus-Walrus).

    2. Specify the Advanced Settings:
      Bucket Name/Container

      All files and folders moved or copied to the cloud vendor are stored and organized in your buckets (or containers). Buckets are like a container for your files and are used to group and organize objects together. Every object stored at the cloud vendor is placed in a bucket.

      Select a bucket name from the drop-down list. If necessary, you can click the Refresh button to update the list of available buckets.

      (For this field, Amazon S3 and Eucalyptus-Walrus use Bucket Name. Windows Azure and Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure) use Container).

      Bucket Region

      For Amazon S3 only, the available region for the specified bucket is displayed in this field.

      (For Windows Azure, Fujitsu Cloud (Windows Azure), and Eucalyptus-Walrus, the region is not displayed).

      Enable Reduced Redundancy Storage

      For Amazon S3 only, this option lets you select to enable Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS). RRS is a storage option within Amazon S3 that helps you reduce cost by storing non-critical, reproducible data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3’s standard storage. Both the standard and reduced redundancy storage options store data in multiple facilities and on multiple devices, but with RRS the data is replicated fewer times, so the cost is less. You should expect the same latency and throughput using either the Amazon S3 standard storage or RRS. By default this option is not selected (Amazon S3 uses the standard storage option).

  3. Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the specified cloud location.
  4. Click OK to exit the Cloud Configuration dialog.
