Data can be uploaded to the Vaultastic Open Store using one or more methods. The most appropriate method depends on the volume and frequency of data to be uploaded
Method 1: Upload using the Vaultastic 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.
Method 2: Using a LegacyFlo request
LegacyFlo can be used to retrieve, convert and upload files to the Vaultastic Open Store. For example, LegacyFlo requests can be used to
- Retrieve data from mailboxes and convert to PST or ZIP with EML files on the Open Store
- Retrieve data from user's drives and convert to ZIP files on the Open Store
- Retrieve data from FTP servers and upload to the Open Store
- Retrieve data from Vaultastic Active Store and convert to PST or ZIP with EML files on the Open Store
- Retrieve data from other sources such as Sharepoint Documents, Team or Google Chats etc and upload to ZIP files on the open store
- Move or copy files from Vaultastic Deep Store
- Move or copy from S3 buckets
Method 3: AWS Snow Devices
For one-time migration of large volumes of data from an in-prem setup to the Vaultastic Open Store, 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. For details, contact Mithi Support.
Note: Additional charges apply when using a snow device to upload data to Open Store.
Method 4: Using AWS Data Sync
For continuous or one-time migration of medium to large volumes of data, the AWS Data Sync service can also be used. For details of pre-requistes and setup, refer to this document.
Method 5: Using a third party tool such as the S3 browser
The final 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 download an access 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.
Configure the S3 browser on your machine and create an external bucket
Upload files
Note: Any 3rd party tools required to upload data to the S3 bucket, including those recommended have to be purchased by you, the customer.
