We have been using Amazon S3 (rclone.org)<https://rclone.org/s3/#ceph> to copy all the data to a filesystem nightly to provide an S3 backup mechanism. It has Ceph support out the box (added by one of my colleagues a few years ago). ________________________________ From: Adam Prycki <aprycki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 7:09 PM To: Shilpa Manjrabad Jagannath <smanjara@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: ceph-users@xxxxxxx <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Backup strategies for rgw s3 [You don't often get email from aprycki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] Yes, I know. It's just that I would need to define zone wide default lifecycle. For example, archivezone stores 30 days of object versions unless specified otherwise. Is there a way to do it? As far as I know lifecycle you linked is configured per bucket. As a small cloud provide we cannot really configure lifecycle policies for users.
