I'm working on setting up S3 backups as securely as possible. I'm following this post:
http://updraftplus.com/faqs/what-settings-should-i-use-for-amazon-s3-and-how-should-i-configure-my-amazon-s3-account/
But the "Lifecycle Rules" setup page at Amazon has changed since you posted it..
My goal is simply to have nightly Updraft backups stored in the standard S3 class for 8 days, and then have them archived to Glacier storage for 60 days, and then deleted. It seems unnecessary to enable Versioning as I think the Lifecycle Rules themselves can handle this, and Updraft's filenames are unique to each backup (right?).
Right now i have it set with versioning off - and the lifecycle rules as follows:
Action on Current Version (Archive & Then Expire):
Archive to the Glacier Storage Class 8 days after the object's creation date.
Permanently Delete 60 days after the object's creation date
Action on Previous Versions (Do Nothing).
Is this all I need?
