FAQ on Amazon S3 Backup Solution
Why should I choose Handy Backup over Amazon’s native backup service?
Amazon Backup charges for every file transfer, which can become costly if you back up large amounts of data. Additionally, Amazon’s service is designed mainly for backing up other Amazon-managed services, not individual files or external storage. Handy Backup gives you full control, allowing cost-efficient, flexible backups of files, folders, or entire S3 buckets without extra charges per operation.
Does Handy Backup support S3 Object Lock when backing up to Amazon S3?
Handy Backup does not have a built-in option to manage S3 Object Lock. However, if a bucket in Amazon S3 is created with Object Lock enabled, all objects uploaded by Handy Backup will follow its policy.
This means that the first S3 backup will be saved successfully, but subsequent backup tasks will not be able to delete or overwrite the existing data as long as Object Lock protection applies. Retention policies (fixed-term protection) or Legal Hold (indefinite protection) are configured in Amazon S3 itself, while Handy Backup only uploads data to the bucket.
Therefore, Amazon S3 Object Lock can serve as an effective way to protect backups from changes or deletion, functioning as an additional safeguard similar to offline copies.
How does region selection affect my S3 backup performance?
By selecting a specific storage region for your S3 backups, you can significantly speed up data transfers and improve connection stability. Handy Backup allows you to choose the region for Amazon S3 or Wasabi, so your backups use servers that are geographically closer, reducing latency and ensuring smoother, more reliable operations.
What are the common risks of storing data only in S3 without backups?
Relying solely on Amazon S3 can expose your data to accidental deletion, corruption, or service outages. Handy Backup offers a more functional and cost-effective solution than native S3 backup tool, letting you back up individual files, folders, or entire S3 buckets while ensuring fast, reliable restores and long-term data protection.
