I don't encrypt before I push to S3. Probably bad practice on my part. I just rely on AWS encryption to secure my data. My backups are low-risk (imo). That said, I lock down the bucket so that only my account can access the objects. Compression I use
tar cjf(bzip). Protip: Once the tar file is made, runtar ljf $archiveFile > archiveFile-ls.txtand store the resulting file along with the tar file in standard storage. That way you know what is in the archive.Both.
Restore Requestsis to copy the data out from Glacier into Standard storage. Note that I said copy. When you perform a restore, your original object stays in glacier and AWS creates a copy to somewhere in S3 that you specify. Once the restore is complete, you can then download the copied object like any S3 object, triggering theOutbound data transferfee.Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'd encrypt everything client-side since I don't want anyone to know what I'm storing; including the Cloud provider.
