Getting Started with Clumio Protect for S3
Clumio provides a secure way to protect your Simple Storage Service (S3) through Clumio Protect for S3.
Prerequisites
If you have bucket-level permissions applied to your S3 bucket, please ensure that the permissions allow access to the Clumio roles for successful ingestion/Inventory.
- Refer to this article for instructions on how to configure your bucket-level permissions to include the Clumio Role.
Supported Storage Classes
You can perform Clumio Protect backups for the below storage classes:
- S3 Standard
- S3 Intelligent-Tiering
- S3 Standard - IA
- S3 One Zone - IA
- S3 Reduced Redundancy
Please note: Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive are not supported.
Supported Encryption Types
The following encryption types are supported when backing up objects:
- Server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) 2
- Server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS)
- Dual-layer server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (DSSE-KMS)
- Sever-Side Encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) **
** As long as the S3 bucket and all its objects are protected by a single SSE-C key
** Contact Clumio support to enable SSE-C
Useful Information
- There are two backup tiers for Clumio Protect for S3: Cold and Frozen. Please refer to the following article for additional information.
- Protecting the same object across different protection groups will incur metering the object separately across each protection group.
- To achieve 15 minute continuous backups, there must be a delta of 32 or more objects in the event queue. If this threshold is not met, continuous backups would be postponed to the next hour.
