The Open Store for your domain is the place where you store files. The different methods for uploading data to the Open Store depend on the source of the files and are mentioned below
Method 1: Uploading files
Files can be directly uploaded to the Open Store using the Open Store Application OR a tool such as S3 Browser, AWS Snowball.
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.
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.
Method 2: Copy email data from live mailboxes into data files on the Open Store
Email data residing in mailboxes on the source servers, can be converted to data files on the Open Store. The LegacyFlo service is used to this conversion.
There are two ways in which the LegacyFlo service can be used. The appropriate method depends on the number of mailboxes to be migrated to data files on the Open Store.
- If the number of mailboxes is small, requests to LegacyFlo can be fired using the Open Store Application itself.
- If the number of mailboxes is large, it is advisable to login to the LegacyFlo interface and submit multiple requests for each mailbox.
Method 3: Configure Vaultastic to automatically move email data from the Active Store to data files on the Open Store
