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:

S3 bucket has been created
The S3 registered with LegacyFlo

Note: These steps have to be executed only once.

A. Create an S3 bucket on AWS

Note: We recommend that you use a single S3 bucket in your AWS account to receive LegacyFlo request output.

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:

Get an AWS account.
Create an S3 bucket in a region supported by Mithi.
Set a temporary bucket policy to allow LegacyFlo to get the name and region of the buckets as mentioned here.
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:

Note: This step has to be done only once for each destination bucket.

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:
