The process of retrieving/restoring files from Amazon Glacier seems complex.
I was following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy_108rNaKs, using the following commands, but I need help seeing how to open a vault and browse its contents to restore files (like opening a zip file).
Is this possible? Or is Amazon Glacier the wrong product?
The backups are uploaded from a Synology NAS app. If the NAS dies, we need a recovery process.
Commands I have run so far in AWS CLI:
# List available vaults within Glacier
aws glacier list-vaults --account-id 123456789
# Initiate retrieval job
aws glacier initiate-job --account-id 123456789 --vault-name VAULT_BACKUP --job-parameters "{\"Type\":\"inventory-retrieval\"}"
# Get inventory list
aws glacier get-job-output --account-id 123456789 --vault-name VAULT_BACKUP --job-id abcd12345 outfile.json
# Obtain required ArchiveId from JSON file
aws glacier initiate-job --account-id 123456789 --vault-name VAULT_BACKUP --job-parameters "{\"Type\":\"archive-retrieval\",\"ArchiveId\":\"qwerty12345\"}"
