3.6.3.2 Amazon S3
Amazon
S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage web service offered by
AWS (Amazon Web Services). It provides a simple web services interface that can
be used to store and retrieve the data from anywhere on the web. With Amazon
S3, you can upload the data from your N AS to Amazon S3 or download the data from
Amazon S3 to your NAS.
Note that you need to register an AWS account from http://aws.amazon.com/
and
pay for the service. After signing up for an account, you need to create at least one
bucket (root folder) on Amazon S3 by an Amazon S3 application. We recommend
the Mozilla Firefox add-on “S3Fox” for beginners.
After setting up the Amazon S3 account, follow the steps below to back up the data
to or retrieve the data from Amazon S3 using the NAS.
1. Click “Create New Replicating Job”.
2. Enter the remote replication job name.
3. Select the usage type: “Upload” or “Download” and enter other settings. A
bucket is the root directory on Amazon S3. You can test the connection to the
remote host testing by clicking “TEST”. Other settings are optional.
