AWS S3 Compatible cloud storage services are offered by a wide range of providers, from emerging startups to large global companies. While these platforms often promote high availability and competitive pricing, keeping services online is not the same as fully protecting customer data.
Most providers use redundancy and recovery systems to keep their platforms running and recover from infrastructure failures. However, these systems are not designed as customer backup solutions. If files are deleted, overwritten, corrupted, or affected by any threats, recovery is impossible without a dedicated backup solution.
AWS S3 does not provide built-in user-level backup
Most AWS S3 Compatible cloud storage platforms do not provide a recycle bin to retain deleted data. Retention of deleted data typically depends on bucket versioning, which must be manually enabled. Without versioning, any deleted file or folder is permanently removed with no possibility of recovery. Even when versioning is enabled, this should not be considered a true backup and recovery solution. Deleted object versions and overwritten data can still be permanently removed, resulting in irreversible data loss with no guaranteed means of recovery.
Without an independent backup solution, your AWS S3-compatible data may still be vulnerable to:
- Data synchronization errors
- Data corruption and accidental overwrites
- Human error and accidental deletion
- Insider threats
- Malware, ransomware, and hackers
