don't need reconciliation, then consider using other tools such as

The ```ArchiveFile`` is the name of the 7ZIP archive file you created.
|

The ```TargetPath``` is specified as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* s3://bucketname/path/path/archivefile.7z
|
||||||
|
* b2://bucketname/path/path/archivefile.7z

The "s3" prefix is to upload to AWS S3. The "b2" prefix
|
||||||
|
is to upload to Backblaze.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are uploading to AWS you can specify the AWS profile name
|
||||||
|
in parameter ```TargetProfile```. In this situtation the profile
|
||||||
|
needs to exist in the AWS credentials on your local device and user profile.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are uploading to Backblaze you specify the ```AccountId``` and the
|
||||||
|
```AccountKey```. For better security you can save the Account Key as an
|
||||||
|
environment variable named ```PETERDOCS_ACCOUNTKEY```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You override the ```SecretFile``` file name location on the local device,
|
||||||
|
if it is not the default name and location.
