In this demo, we will be showing you how to restore specific file types from an S3 bucket prefix to a previous point in time. This is particularly useful when you need to overwrite potentially compromised files with clean copies from a healthy backup. With Clumio S3 Restore, objects in a protection group can be restored using global search from the calendar view. You can restore all of the S3 assets from a protection group, or you can select specific objects to restore. You can also choose the account or region, the bucket, and the storage class to restore the objects. In this example, we will overwrite and restore all of the files of a specific type in an S3 bucket prefix to a previous point in time. In a real-world scenario, we would use this functionality to overwrite possibly compromised files with clean copies from a previously healthy backup set. We'll start by clicking on the Restore tab. Click on S3 buckets. We'll browse our inventory. Let's say we want to restore some files for the operations team. We'll click on their S3 bucket. Now we're presented with a calendar of all of our available restore dates. We know that the files from Sunday are clean, so we'll restore back to them. We'll click Restore Prefix or Buckets. Let's add our filter to search and display for Excel files or files with the extension XLS. Click Object Key Contains, XLS. Then we click Preview. And now we have a list of all the documents that are going to be restored. Once we verify that all the files are correct, we'll click Next. We can restore to the source bucket or a custom bucket, so we will restore to the source. Click Restore. We get a warning saying that Clumio has found existing objects in the specified prefix. So we know this, and we want to overwrite them anyway, so we click Restore. Now we can watch our restore task. After some time, our recovery completes successfully, and about 6,000 files have been restored to the bucket prefix. Now let's go to AWS and make sure everything looks correct in our bucket. Now in AWS, we'll click on the Branch Ops Storage Bucket. We'll click on Documents. And as we can see, all of our files have been restored back to July 6th, which was a date before the files were tampered with. With only a few clicks, we've performed a full file-level recovery of our S3 bucket prefix, and now our ops team is ready to use their documents again. With Clumio's S3 restore capabilities, you can quickly recover specific file types or prefixes without restoring entire buckets. This targeted approach means faster recovery times and less disruption of your business operations. Your team can get back to work immediately with clean, verified data, while minimizing the impact of data corruption or security incidents.
