Creating an S3 replication peer on a VAST Cluster enables you to:
Configure replication of the VAST Cluster's data to an AWS S3 or custom S3 bucket.
Access data that was already replicated to the peer from a client mount of the VAST Cluster's file system.
You can have multiple S3 replication peers configured in parallel on a VAST Cluster. This enables you to access data that was replicated to all of those peers. However, you cannot back up data to more than one peer at any given time.
One active protected path can replicate the cluster's data to any one of the active peers. All restore points on all active peers are exposed to clients via the NFS export or SMB share of the root directory of the file system.
