Glacier Upload Helper

Compilation

Run mvn package

Usage Example

Run java -jar glacier-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --vault-name {vaultName} --description {description} --input-file-path {pathOffileToArchive} --account-id {awsAccountId}

Save the archiveId at the end of the upload for future use. If archiveId is lost, you will need to retrieve the inventory listing using aws-cli and is a 2-step process:

1. Run aws glacier initiate-job --job-parameters '{"Type": "inventory-retrieval"}' --account-id {awsAccountId} --vault-name {vaultName} This starts a job to retrieve the inventory. Save the jobId for the next step.
2. Run aws glacier get-job-output --account-id {awsAccountId} --vault-name {vaultName} --job-id {jobId} {fileToBeSaved} This saves the inventory to your file system. Note that it might take a day for the inventory list to be ready.
