Receive Archive
Why
Once the archive file is sent, you need to download it from its intermediate location if the source and destination locations are not directky connected.
You can user other tools you have available to download the archive file.
When
The archive is received after it sent. The assunmption is that cloud storage is being used as an intermediary.
How
To receive the archive file you sent using the Send-Peter function you can
execute the Receive-Peter function.
Receive-Peter
-SourcePath <String>
-ArchiveFile <String>
-SecretFile <String>
-SourceProfile <String>
-AccountId <String>
-AccountKey <String>
-LogPath <String>
The SourcePath is specified as follows:
- s3://bucketname/path/path/archivefile.7z
- b2://bucketname/path/path/archivefile.7z
The "s3" prefix is to download from AWS S3. The "b2" prefix is to download from Backblaze.
If you are dowloading from AWS you can specify the AWS profile name
in parameter SourceProfile. In this situtation the profile
needs to exist in the AWS credentials on your local device and user profile.
If you are downloading from 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 can override the SecretFile file name location on the local device,
but it is recommended to leave at defaults for a better experience.
What
The function will retrieve the archive file either from an AWS S3 bucket or from a Backblaze bucket.
If your archive file is on a web site or network folder then you will need to use other tools to download the archive file and the key file.
The function will not expand or reconcile the restore at the destination.
Please ensure you have sufficent storage to accomodate the local copy of the archive and space to unpack it.
