AWS Glacier tools and terminology

  • AWS Glacier basic elements are vaults and archives. Each vault contain one or more archives. Each archive has a description, size and creation date.

Conventions used in this application

  • Each glacier archive correspond to one zip or tar file.

  • Each archive should contain a snapshot of backup folder (a map of file-hash to a list of paths).

  • Each vault should contain one full backup archive and one or more incremental backup archives.

  • The full backup archive should always be the first one in the vault.
