Feedback & Feature requests

Hy there, thanks you for all this years providing good backup software.
With professional licence i get ability to send backups to AWS S3 storage.
Is there a chance to set storage class to Glacier Deep Archive for my backups.
My scenario is to always send same name of archive files to s3 and to keep x number of versions.
But I store files as Glacier Deep Archive now S3 can store this type of class and is much cost efficient than standard backups.

Hello Admir,

Thank you for your question.

Storage classes such as Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive are not available directly in the SQLBackupAndFTP application settings.

If you want your backups to be stored in Glacier Deep Archive, the recommended approach is to upload backups to S3 using any supported class (e.g., Standard), then configure an AWS S3 Lifecycle Rule that automatically transitions these files to Glacier Deep Archive.
