not recommended. Use S3 for Glacier instead as it's easier, cheaper, and has more functionality

• list vaults: aws glacier list-vaults --account-id 123456789012
• upload archive to existing vault (less than 5G): aws glacier upload-archive --vault-name awsexamplevault --account-id 123456789012 --body archive.zip
• upload archives > 5G to existing vault
• download archive
• delete contents in vault
  • similar information with comments

• upload file to S3 deep storage class (Glacier):

  aws s3 cp foo.txt s3://bucketname/foo.txt --storage-class DEEP_ARCHIVE

• upload folder to S3 deep storage class (Glacier):

  aws s3 cp folder s3://bucketname/foldername --storage-class DEEP_ARCHIVE

  –recursive

  • this will create the folder and upload the files in the newly created folder
• to download first restore: aws s3api restore-object --bucket sample2.txt --key sample.txt --restore-request '{"Days":5,"GlacierJobParameters":{"Tier":"Standard"}}'
• then check status: aws s3api head-object --bucket DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET --key dir1/example.obj
• after file is restored, copy to local machine:

  aws s3 cp s3://mybucket/test.txt test2.txt
