Before you begin, you will need to create S3 Bucket on Amazon AWS to store the backups
To create s3 bucket - https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3
On next screen, you need to give a Bucket name which you have created for storage
Revyz will write data at the time of backup in the given bucket
Revyz will read data from the same bucket for restore
On next screen, you will get a bucket policy which will allow Revyz IAM user to read, write, tag objects in your s3 bucket.
Copy that JSON bucket policy and paste it in Permissions section of your bucket in AWS.
It's important to ensure that the necessary policy is added to the bucket before clicking the Validate Storage button to avoid any configuration or access issues.
On next screen it will verify the permissions once bucket policy is added.
Permissions are assigned to the IAM user
If required permissions are not added in the bucket policy then setup will not be completed i.e you will not be able to install the BYOS app
Revyz also checks the “Delete“ permission and Revyz has no delete access to your bucket so it is confirmed that Revyz can not delete any object from your bucket
Click on Activate storage, which will activate your storage
Configure which Jira projects gets backed up
If you want to run backup immediately, then select Run data immediately option
