- If the SubFolder field is left empty, the backup file will be saved in the root of the specified container.
- If the SubFolder field is populated with the name of a folder that does not exist on the storage container \ bucket, the folder will be created, and the backup file will be saved to the specified Subfolder.
- Multiple SubFolders can be specified by separating each folder with a forward slash: MyFolder/MySubfolder/MyNestedFolder.
- The SubFolder field can contain static values as well as tokens like %instance%, %database%, %backuptype%, %policyguid%, and %timestamp%.
- The Storage Class is currently locked to the 'Standard' class and cannot be changed.
- Specify the Part Size in megabytes of the backup file that will be sent to the bucket simultaneously.
The default value for File Size is 10 MB.
- Specify the Temporary Download Location to improve resiliency and performance when downloading large backup files from Amazon S3 Cloud Storage. This location will be displayed when the "Download File from Cloud" option is checked in a restore wizard or restore policy.
When S3 Cloud settings are configured in the Management Console Preferences, the information is set to default in the SQL Safe wizards.
