I was wondering how can we get the snapshots to show up for AWS hosted service? I saw the documentation saying that snapshot can be authenticated by syncing a compatible S3 bucket so would I just need to connect the instance that’s running with an S3 bucket to get access to the snapshots?
Hi @Tazwar_Belal, the general support document for this is:
The AWS hosted service does not yet have anything special to help you set this up, I’m sorry.
Pay close attention to this warning:
Enabling snapshotting results in a big change in how documents are stored, and is best done prior to creating documents. Back up your work before changing this configuration.
Do you have many documents already?
There are two documents that we’ve got in the workspace but one of them is being used primarily while the other was just for testing purposes.
Okay. Then you could download them, keep them safe, make the configuration changes, and re-upload them. After the snapshot changes, S3 becomes the canonical store for documents, not your instance’s file system. So you’d have to do work to migrate the documents across. If downloading and reuploading is ok, then you can skip that work.
