-\\ \\ The Storage Made Easy Cloud-to-Cloud backup enables the backup of a public or private cloud to another public or private cloud.\\ \\ You can use it to backup Google Docs files to Amazon S3 for example or to backup a local WebDav Server to RackSpace etc. The combinations are endless.\\ \\ The aim is to ensure high availability of data with two different data stores be they public or private.\\ \\ For the purpose of this overview we'll assume we wish to backup Google Docs to the DropBox Cloud+\\ \\ The Enterprise File Fabric Archive/Backup feature enables the archiving of a public or private file store to a secondary public or private file store (or a different region / bucket of the primary file store).\\ \\ It can be used to backup Google Drive files to Amazon S3 for example or to archive a local WebDav Server to RackSpace etc. The combinations are limited only by the file stores that are supported by the File Fabric.\\ \\ The aim is to ensure high availability of data with two different data stores be they public or private.\\ \\ For the purpose of this overview we'll assume an archive from Google Drive to the DropBox Cloud, but typically please note that we would recommend an archive/backup from a consumer file store object storage rather than a consumer file store to another consumer file store. The reason for this is the API throttling and limitations that can be triggered on consumer file stores

 +A resync (meta sync) of the primary file store (Google Drive in this example) will now commence and as files are validated or found this will precipitate each file being added to the newly nominated DropBox Backup that has just been added.

-The Google Docs files are backed up to DropBox after the backup completes.\\ \\ After the initial sync any news files that are uploaded direct to Google Docs via SME are also backed up to DropBox. Any files uploaded direct to Google Docs are uploaded to DropBox when SME discovers them either through you accessing your account if real-time update is enabled or by forcing a refresh between the SME meta-data and Google Docs. You are also able to control whether files are deleted on the backup if they are deleted on the primary from the settings page in step  \\ \\ Although we used Google Docs to DropBox as an example this is equally applicable to any of the [[https://storagemadeeasy.com/cloud_list/|35 clouds]] that SME supports, including private data to public clouds or vice-versa.\\ \\+===== 5 Backup/Archive Completed =====
  
  
  
 +When the Archive completes the primary file store (Google Drive) files have been backed up / archived to the secondary data store (DropBox).\\ \\ Any subsequent files that are uploaded direct to Google Drive using the File Fabric will also be instantly archived/backed up to DropBox. If any files that are uploaded direct to Google Drive (ie. not through the File Fabric) they will also be uploaded to DropBox when the File Fabric next discovers them (either on a refresh or a resync of the metadata).
