APPENDIX D

Best practices for Amazon Glacier 

This chapter describes best practices for Amazon Glacier. It includes the following sections:

“Optimizing data movement to and from Amazon Glacier” on page 251

“AltaVault appliance best practices for EMC NetWorker for Amazon Glacier” on page 258

“AltaVault appliance best practices for IBM Spectrum Protect for Amazon Glacier” on page 260

“AltaVault appliance best practices for Veritas NetBackup for Amazon Glacier” on page 261

“AltaVault appliance best practices for Veritas Backup Exec for Amazon Glacier” on page 262

“AltaVault appliance best practices for Veeam backup and replication for Amazon Glacier” on page 263

Optimizing data movement to and from Amazon Glacier

AltaVault appliances can be configured in backup or cold storage mode for use with Amazon Glacier. As most use 
cases for Amazon Glacier are typically for long term storage of inactive data, AltaVault is generally configured in cold 
storage mode to maximize cloud storage. Be aware that when using AltaVault in cold storage mode, the appliance 
cache is used for holding a greater amount of deduplicated data in Amazon Glacier, which results in a lower amount 
of cache being available to hold data for immediate recovery needs. For more information on the two appliance modes, 
see the table in the section, 

“Deployment guidelines” on page 13

.

Protecting data to Amazon Glacier

Protecting backup and critical production servers using Glacier also adds additional considerations. In most data 
protection scenarios backup servers would be protected the same way as any other production server backup data, and 
stored in the same storage target but under a different set of retention requirements and typically a different target 
location. During disaster recovery (DR), backup and critical production server recoveries are the first processes that 
occur, and thus retrieval of the backup server backup is critical in the DR process. If you use a cloud storage target like 
S3, then this would typically not pose a problem in terms of the DR time frame. However, if you use Amazon Glacier, 
then this would most likely incur a heavy delay that most businesses would find unacceptable from an RTO 
perspective. The appropriate approach for handling backup and critical production server protection if using Amazon 
Glacier would be to have the backup and critical production server backups go to a separate share on AltaVault which 
is pinned. AltaVault pinned data is always held on local cache and is never evicted, allowing administrators to have 
immediate access to these server backups immediately and without any delays associated with accessing data stored 
in Amazon Glacier.
