AWS S3 now supported as a Storage Destination!
· 2 min read
Hello everyone,
This release brings one of our most requested features: Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) for AWS S3. You can now store your backups in your own AWS account while continuing to use PettiCloud for automated backup management and monitoring.
What's new​
-
Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) for AWS S3
- Store backups directly in your own AWS S3 bucket while retaining PettiCloud's automation and management capabilities.
-
Smarter backup monitoring
- Increased the backup status monitoring threshold to 5 minutes to reduce unnecessary alert emails caused by short-lived network or infrastructure interruptions.
-
Improved reliability
- Added a watchdog that automatically restarts the agent in rare situations where it unexpectedly stops due to low memory or insufficient disk space.
-
Agent reinstall option
- You can now reinstall an existing agent directly when needed, making recovery and troubleshooting much simpler.
-
Agent storage validation
- The agent now validates storage configuration before backup operations, helping detect issues earlier.
-
More readable snapshot file names
- Snapshot filenames are now easier to understand and identify during manual inspection.
As always, thank you for your feedback. Many of these improvements came directly from customer conversations, and we'll continue focusing on making backup and recovery as reliable and effortless as possible.
Have a great day!
