My customer is from China and China region AWS do not have S3 glacier . Beside my customer hope they can use veeam back function to move files directly to S3 glacier storage class without SOBR.
I find out that :If use SOBR Archive Tier , it always first written to the S3 bucket associated with the Capacity Tier .When the configured archiving policy conditions are met (for example, GFS retention thresholds are reached, or the “Move to Archive Tier after N days” setting is enabled), Veeam invokes the S3 API to perform a storage class transition, changing the object from STANDARD to:GLACIER (Flexible Retrieval), orDEEP_ARCHIVE (depending on selection).
First,please confirm my understanding is right .
Second is it possible to move files directly to S3 glacier storage class under SOBR without storage class transition ? My customer do not want to pay for the transform fee by using S3 API . They just want to move files directly to S3 glacier storage class . They are using Veeam v12+ version . Is it possible to do that ?
