Upload email data files to an S3 bucket
Choosing the bucket
Option 1. Uploading to your own S3 Bucket
We highly recommend that the raw data files are uploaded to an S3 bucket in your AWS account.
The steps to do so are as follows:
- Create an AWS account
- Create an S3 bucket in a region supported by LegacyFlo
- Grant List and Read access to LegacyFlo
- Create a folder called "Vaultastic". Copy the data files to be migrated into this folder.
For details on the steps refer to the documentation here.
Option 2: Uploading to the S3 bucket in Vaultastic V4 Open or Deep Store
The other option to upload data files to the S3 bucket in the Vaultastic V4 Open or Deep Store.
To know the S3 credentials of your Open or Deep Stores, contact Mithi Customer Care.
Choose the upload method
With AWS, there are more than one ways to upload data to an S3 bucket. Two recommended options are the S3 browser for small data and the AWS Snowball for large data.
Note: Any tools required to upload data to the S3 bucket, including those recommended have to be purchased by you, the customer.
Option 1: Using a tool such as the S3 browser to upload the files
Refer to the documentation of the third party tool for uploading data.
Option 2: Using the AWS Snowball
When migrating large volumes of data. It is advisable to use a device from the AWS Snowball to transport data from your data center to the AWS data center in the selected region. Refer to the AWS documentation on ordering and using the Snowball.
