There are few things in common between S3 and Glacier; both are designed for high durability, allows storage of almost unlimited data quantities. However, when it comes to accessing data, they do differ. S3 is mostly used for infrequently accessed objects. On the other hand, Glacier is used to store objects that you will not need to access for extended periods—weeks, months, or even years.

Thanks to Zmanda, Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Glacier, we have the right services at hand to establish a cost-effective, yet practical backup solution. Zmanda ensures that its customers can always recover their data while making backup simple, secure, and cost-effective. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) fits perfectly with this mission. To save a large amount of ‘cold data’ (infrequent access data), Zmanda adds lifecycle configuration to tell Amazon S3 to transition objects to AWS Glacier. For instance, if a user wants to archive objects that do not need to be accessed in real-time to the Glacier storage class.

AWS Glacier Deep Storage is a recent addition as a new storage class for Glacier. Deep Archive is a very long-term storage solution. It is a perfect fit for keeping data sets for 7–10 years or longer, and Zmanda makes sure you have control over your data every step of the way.

If you're looking for a GUI client that spares you arcane command line tools, Zmanda has it for you. Zmanda’s wider workload support is now clubbed with its remodeled deduplication storage fabric.
