Uploading data files to the Open Store

Email data in data files such as PST, MBOX, MAILDIR, or EML can be directly uploaded to the Open Store using a tool such as S3 Browser, AWS Snowball, or directly from the Open Store Application.

Option 1: Using the Open Store Application

Files accessible via your desktop can be uploaded to the Open Store using the Open Store Application. This application is available to the domain administrators of the Vaultastic domain.  This option is suitable when the volume of data to be uploaded at a time is small. 

Option 2: Using third party tools to upload data to an S3 bucket

The second option is to download and install a third-party tool such as the S3 browser on your desktop to upload the files. To upload using a third party tool, you need to request a key to the underlying S3 bucket on which the Open 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.

This option is suitable when the volume of data to be uploaded is more than that can be handled by the Open Store application.

Note: Any 3rd party tools required to upload data to the S3 bucket, including those recommended have to be purchased by you, the customer.

Option 3: Using the AWS Snowcone/Snowball

When migrating large volumes of data, it is advisable to use the AWS Snowcone or 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 a device in the AWS Snow family.

Note: Any 3rd party tools required to upload data to the S3 bucket, including those recommended have to be purchased by you, the customer.
