Third-party software support - Data Transfer from Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults to Amazon S3

Third-party software support

This Guidance uses the value stored in the ArchiveDescription for each Amazon Glacier vault archive (as listed in the Amazon Glacier inventory file) as the key name for the new S3 object that it creates. The Guidance supports copying Amazon Glacier vaults using either FastGlacier or CloudBerry software as follows.

  • FastGlacier (v1-v4) – The Guidance extracts the value for /ArchiveMetadata/Path of /m/p from the XML metadata stored in the ArchiveDescription field in the Amazon Glacier inventory file. It then converts that value to a string that forms the S3 object key name.

  • CloudBerry (v5.9) – The Guidance extracts the value for Path from the JSON metadata stored in the ArchiveDescription field in the Amazon Glacier inventory file. It then converts that value to a string that forms the S3 object key name.
