What is Amazon S3
Amazon simple storage service is storage for the internet.
Amazon S3 has a simple web service interface that you can use to store and
retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives
any user access to the highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data
storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its global network of websites.
Working With Amazon S3 Bucket
To upload your data (photos, videos, documents, and more), you
first create a bucket in one of the AWS regions. You can then upload any number
of objects to the bucket.
In terms of implementation, buckets and objects are
resources, and Amazon S3 provides APIs for you to manage them. For example, you
can create a bucket and upload objects using Amazon s3 API. You can also use
the Amazon S3 API. You can also use Amazon s3 console to perform these
operations. The console internally uses Amazon S3 APIs to send requests to
Amazon s3.

If you want to transfer, sync or backup files from one cloud
service to a database, are you going to manually do it by downloading files to
your local disk and re-uploading to your database? Is a better way to do it,
right? We recommend DBSync solution to help you backup, sync and move files
from Database to Amazon S3
Step1: We have to connect DBSync to the database
from where you want to export the files. For more information on what and how
databases can be connected can be obtained from the below link. http://help.mydbsync.com/docs/display/dbsync/Database.
Step 2: We have to connect DBSync with Amazon S3
storage, you will need to enter specific information so that the DBSync can
communicate with Amazon S3. so you will need the following.
- Bucket

- Access
Key ID
- Secret
Access Key
Here is the link to rightly configure the Amazon s3
connector to help you connected with the DBSync.
Step3: Now it’s that all the connections are set
between DBSync and Source, Target applications. We will have to create the
Project, Process, and workflow in the DBSync, After those are done you will
need to do the mapping which will help DBSync to understand from where to where
the files have to be moved.
Step 4: Hit the Run Now button located at the
top right corner of the page as shown in the above screen. If sync is
successfully executed it shows up in the console, in case of errors also same
will be displayed in the console. After the successful completion of sync, go
to the Amazon S3 storage to the given file path to check files are copied along
with correct directory name, file names, and data in the files.
