IceArchiver

Amazon Glacier is not only attractive because it can amass very large datasets, but the low costs services also make it appealing to companies across the world. Despite the benefits, one drawback of AWS is that you need to configure the management console.

IceArchiver is an application designed to help you overcome the configuration process as it provides you with a clean and flexible environment for creating incremental and differential backups.

Following a fast and uneventful setup, you are welcomed by a wizard that enables you to set up the profiles. If you are working with multiple profiles, then you will be happy to learn that the tool enables you to organize them into groups for more proficient management.

The program comes with a clean and intuitive interface that is easy to navigate and manage. The Home tab is designed as a summary window that displays an overview of the tasks performed along with the backup history and logs for the past 30 days. You can create a backup from the Profile tab by simply hitting the Run button.

It is worth mentioning that you are unable to employ the application unless you set up a backup profile. Then again, do not fret, as the wizard embedded is going to guide you through the process. It goes without saying that you need to have an Amazon Glacier profile and enter the required information while filling in the Destination data.

If you are on a strict budget and would like to make sure you do not exceed it, then you can preview all actions taken in the past month, week or day from the Activity tab. Moreover, the app is versatile and provides you with simple means to browse, edit, view and manage the backups and their contents.

In the eventuality that you are employing AWS as your primary cloud backup service and you are looking for a solution that allows you manage archives more efficiently, then maybe IceArchiver could come in handy.
