Backup data from Vaultastic V4 Active store to your own S3 bucket

Overview

Using LegacyFlo you can backup email data from the Vaultastic V4 Active store to a zipped EML file in your own AWS S3 bucket.

Preparation

Before creating migration requests in LegacyFlo, ensure the following:

1. S3 bucket has been created 
2. The S3 registered with LegacyFlo 

A. Create an S3 bucket on AWS

Create your S3 bucket in a supported region and allow list and write access to LegacyFlo. The steps for the same are given in the links below:

1. Get an AWS account.
2. Create an S3 bucket in a region supported by Mithi. 
3. Set a temporary bucket policy to allow LegacyFlo to get the name and region of the buckets as mentioned here.
4. When the S3 bucket is used as a source, give list and read access to the objects on the bucket and when the S3 bucket is used as a destination, allow list and write access to LegacyFlo. The steps to do so are mentioned here.

B. Register your S3 bucket as a source/destination S3 bucket on LegacyFlo

For LegacyFlo to upload data to your S3 bucket, it needs to be added to as a destination S3 bucket in LegacyFlo. The steps for doing the same are as given below:

Migrate data to your own S3 bucket

Once the preparation is done, you can start the migration by submitting migration requests to LegacyFlo. 

Note: This step has to be executed for each mailbox to be migrated.

The request type used to submit a LegacyFlo request will depend on the source type. The table below gives the details of the preparation and request parameters for different source types:

Retrieve data from S3

You can retrieve the data by 

1. Downloading the zip file, either using the AWS console or a tool such as the S3 browser.
2. Migrating the data to a SkyConnect or Vaultastic account.
