Uploading data to the Vaultastic Deep Store

The Vaultastic Deep Store for your domain is the place where you store rarely accessed files. The different methods for uploading data to the Deep Store depend on the source of the files and are mentioned below

Method 1: Uploading files 

Files can be directly uploaded to the Deep Store using the  a tool such as S3 Browser Pro or AWS Snowball.

Option 1: Using third party tools to upload data to an S3 bucket

The first option is to download and install a third-party tool such as the S3 browser Pro on your desktop to upload the files. To upload using a third party tool, you need to download a key to the underlying S3 bucket on which the Deep Store for your domain is hosted. 

This key has to be registered with the third party tool. Broadly, there are two steps in uploading the raw data using a third party tool such as the S3 browser.

• Configure the S3 browser on your machine and create an external bucket

• Upload files
