# Send Archive
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
You need to send the archive file to the destination where it is to be restored.
|
|
|
|
If the destination is directly accessible from your current location, and you
|
|
don't need reconciliation, then consider using other tools such as
|
|
```Robocopy``` or ```rsync```.
|
|
|
|
You can use other tools you have available to upload the archive file to
|
|
cloud storage.
|
|
|
|
## When
|
|
|
|
Send the archive file once it is created.
|
|
|
|
## How
|
|
|
|
To send the archive file you use the ```Send-Peter``` function. It is your choice
|
|
on whether you use the ```Send-Peter``` function to send the archive file and ".key"
|
|
file or another program or command line.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Send-Peter
|
|
-ArchiveFile <String>
|
|
-TargetPath <String>
|
|
-SecretFile <String>
|
|
-TargetProfile <String>
|
|
-AccountId <String>
|
|
-AccountKey <String>
|
|
-LogPath <String>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 situation 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.
|
|
|
|
## What
|
|
|
|
The function will upload the archive file and key file (if applicable) to
|
|
cloud storage.
|
|
|
|
