Frequently Asked Questions
What is Amazon S3?
Amazon S3 is AWS’s highly scalable and durable object storage service. It provides secure, virtually limitless storage for any data type, making it essential for cloud-native applications, data lakes, and backing up vast business data volumes on the AWS platform.
What is the AWS Shared Responsibility Model?
The AWS Shared Responsibility Model states that AWS is responsible for the security and reliability of their servers and infrastructure, whereas the customer is responsible for the security and reliability of their data and applications, including access control. This means the customer is responsible for being able to restore data in case of an overwrite or deletion, whether from human error or security breach.
Why protect Amazon S3?
Amazon S3 holds critical data driving your business: from data lakes to analytics. Despite S3’s durability, accidental deletion, ransomware, or misconfigurations can lead to significant data loss. Comprehensive backup is vital to protect these valuable assets, build business resilience, and satisfy compliance needs.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery as it relates to S3?
S3 Backup creates independent data copies protecting against logical errors like accidental deletion or ransomware. Disaster Recovery (DR) for S3 is the broader strategy to restore applications after major disruptions, like regional outages. S3 replication helps infrastructure DR, but robust backups are crucial for data resilience against logical corruption.
Why is cross-region recovery important?
Cross-region recovery is vital for business continuity. If a primary AWS Region becomes unavailable due to a disaster, having backups in another region allows you to quickly restore critical S3 data and applications. This protects against widespread outages and provides flexibility if your source data moves, maintaining operational resilience.
How does Clumio help me back up the right S3 data?
Given S3’s massive scale, not all data requires backup. Clumio provides deep visibility and granular control to protect only essential S3 data. You can precisely select by bucket, prefix, tag, account, region, or storage tier, fostering efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
How do I automate my Clumio backups?
Clumio makes automating S3 backups simple, helping save valuable time. You can schedule and manage automated backups directly within the Clumio application. For developers, our Terraform provider allows you to deploy and manage your backup strategy as code, integrating with existing workflows.
How does Clumio help secure my backups?
Clumio provides multi-layered backup security. Your data is air-gapped and immutable, helping prevent deletion or alteration. It’s encrypted in transit and at rest with FIPS 140-2 validation and optional BYOK. Plus, you can apply role-based access control and multi-factor authentication, robustly protecting your critical S3 data.
What is S3 Instant Access Restore?
When restoring large S3 data volumes, speed is paramount. Clumio’s S3 Instant Access Restore lets you mount a read-only S3 bucket from your backup, swiftly restoring application functionality and providing access to critical data within minutes. Your operations resume quickly as the complete data restoration process finishes in the background.
What is S3 Backtrack?
Clumio Backtrack delivers near-instant, versioning-based point-in-time recovery for your S3 buckets, even at massive scale. You can rapidly restore a bucket’s state to any specific moment, leveraging just object metadata. Backtrack is ideal for quickly recovering from accidental changes, deletions, or logical corruption across vast datasets.
What makes Clumio better than other solutions?
Clumio’s unique cloud-native architecture delivers superior S3 data protection. It provides high-performance, scalable backups and rapid restores with robust security through air-gapping and immutability. Clumio is cost-effective, offering greater visibility into storage spend. Its versatility lets you precisely control what to backup, optimizing protection across massive S3 environments.
