The latest release of MSP360 Backup supports Amazon's latest S3 storage class<\/a> \u2014 One Zone-IA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

Amazon has recently announced the latest addition to their S3 storage class line-up \u2014 S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (Z\u2014IA). Unlike other S3 storage classes, which store data in at least three availability zones, Z\u2014IA stores data in a single availability zone. In other words, there is no data deduplication<\/a> within the same region, and your data is not resilient in the event of data center destruction. However, reduced durability is balanced out by lower pricing; Z-IA is priced at $0.01 per GB-month, a 20% discount compared to regular Standard-IA ($0.0125 per GB-month).<\/p>\n

MSP360 Backup has consequently been updated with complete support for Z-IA.<\/p>\n

Backing Up Data to One Zone-IA<\/h2>\n

You can back up your data to One Zone-IA in two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new backup plan that backs up specified data to One Zone-IA;<\/li>\n
  2. Configure a lifecycle policy in MSP360 Backup that will automatically move all data within an S3 bucket to One Zone-IA;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first approach enables you to create a backup plan that will back up only the data you've specified to One Zone-IA. This option makes sense for backup of rarely-accessed archive data.<\/p>\n

    Launch the Backup Wizard by clicking Files on the main toolbar. Select your S3 account and proceed to Compression & Encryption. Select One Zone-IA in the storage class drop-down menu. Conclude configuring the plan and execute it afterward. When done, all of your data will have been uploaded to One Zone-IA.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The second approach applies to all backup plans that perform backup to Amazon S3. This is achieved by configuring a lifecycle policy that will automatically transfer your data from regular S3 to One Zone-IA after the specified number of days.<\/p>\n

    On the main toolbar, under Tools, click Lifecycle Policy. Select the required S3 bucket or computer prefix, right-click on it, and click Set Transition. Configure the required transition to One Zone-IA and click OK. From now on, all backed up data to S3 will automatically be transferred to One Zone-IA after the specified number of days.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n

    Amazon One Zone-IA is a great way to reduce cloud storage costs by leveraging a low-cost storage class with reduced durability. For example, it might be a good option for storing backup duplicates if you're using multiple backup destinations in you backup strategy.
