This article overviews how Amazon S3 lifecycle rules<\/a> can be set for buckets with versioning. To set lifecycle rules we will use MSP360 Explorer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To configure the lifecycle rule for the bucket, right-click on the bucket and select Bucket Lifecycle<\/strong> from the context menu.
    \n\"1\"<\/li>\n
  2. In the opened Bucket Lifecycle screen click on the \u201cAdd\u2026\u201d<\/strong> button to open the Bucket Lifecycle Rule window. \"2\"<\/li>\n
  3. As you can see there is a new section for Versioning<\/strong> where you can set transition and expiration rules for non-current versions:\"3\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Transition<\/strong> defines a rule for archiving to Glacier: you can set up different periods for current and non-current versions (Versioning section). For example, you can do nothing for the current version (no transition, no expiration) and archive non-current versions in 7 days. Note that objects archived to Glacier are not available in real-time.<\/p>\n

    Expiration<\/strong> defines a rule for permanently delete files. For the versioning bucket, the expiration on the top of the dialog defines logical deletion of the current version by adding a delete maker as the new current version. The expiration rule in the Versioning<\/strong> section defines permanent deletion for non-current versions.<\/p>\n

    You can combine both options \u2013 transition and expiration; and you can set a rule for the whole bucket or a certain path in the bucket.<\/p>\n

    See our previous article<\/a> about bucket lifecycle where you can find more details about the transition and expiration.<\/p>\n
