Hi, I'm currently working on a project which requires us to backup 2 separate s3 zones/realms and retain it for few months. Requirements were written by someone who doesn't know ceph rgw capabilities. We have to do incremental and full backups. Each type of backup has separate retention period. Is there a way to accomplish this with in a sensible way? My fist idea would be to create multisite replication to archive-zone. But I cannot really enforce data retention on archive zone. It would require us to overwrite lifecycle policies created by our users. As far as I know it's not possible to create zone level lifecycle policy. Users get their accounts are provisioned via openstack swift. Second idea would be to create custom backup script and copy all the buckets in the cluster to different s3 zone. Destination buckets could be all versioned to have desired retention. But this option feels very hackish and messy. Backing up 2 separate s3 zones to one could cause collision in bucket names. Prefixing bucket names with additional information is not safe because buckets have fixed name length. Prefixing object key name is also not ideal. Best regards Adam Prycki
