About Amazon S3 storage classes

NetBackup supports storage classes for Amazon S3 and Amazon GovCloud. While you configure a cloud storage, you can select a specific storage class that you want to assign to your objects or your data backups. The objects are stored according to their storage classes.

NetBackup supports the following Amazon S3 storage classes:

  • STANDARD

  • STANDARD_IA (IA stands for Infrequent Access.)

  • ONEZONE_IA (without lifecycle) (IA stands for Infrequent Access.)

    Select the ONEZONE_IA (Infrequent Access) storage class to restore less frequently accessed data with single zone resiliency.

  • GLACIER

    See About protecting data in Amazon Glacier.

  • GLACIER_VAULT (Not supported by CloudCatalyst)

    See About protecting data in Amazon Glacier vault.

  • LIFECYCLE (Not supported by CloudCatalyst)

    See Protecting data using Amazon's cloud tiering .

In the following scenarios, NetBackup assigns the default STANDARD storage class to the backups or objects:

  • If you do not select a specific storage class while you configure the Amazon S3 cloud storage

  • If the backups were configured in an earlier NetBackup version

See Assigning a storage class to Amazon cloud storage.
