To archive files to Amazon S3 Glacier, you need to create a rule for your archive folder in Alfresco Content Services or Alfresco Governance Services that indicates you want to archive its content.
Note
Once a file has been archived to Amazon S3 Glacier, the only information available to you in Alfresco Content Services or Alfresco Governance Services is the metadata of the file. You will receive a message that informs you that the content is being archived. Only when a file has been restored does it become available again.
-
Login to Alfresco Content Services.
-
Create a folder that you can use as your archive folder.
Anything moved here will be archived to Amazon S3 Glacier.
Note
Creating an archive folder for a Records Management site in Alfresco Governance Services has a minor limitation. See Glacier Connector FAQs for more details.
