Kopia Backup Cloud Storage Setup

Kopia Backup: Cloud Storage Setup Guide (OCI, S3, Backblaze B2)

Kopia is an open-source backup tool that creates encrypted, deduplicated and compressed snapshots and stores them on any S3-compatible cloud storage — including OCI Object Storage, Backblaze B2, AWS S3, MinIO, and more. The practical goal of this guide is simple: create a Kopia repository on your chosen backend, validate it, run the first snapshot, and know how to reconnect or restore data later. Quick setup Step What you need 1. Choose a storage backend OCI Object Storage, Backblaze B2, or any S3-compatible service. 2. Create a bucket and access keys Bucket name, endpoint, access key and secret key for your provider. 3. Create the Kopia repository kopia repository create s3 with the provider S3 endpoint. 4. Validate the repository kopia repository validate-provider. 5. Create snapshots kopia snapshot create <path>. Supported storage backends Kopia supports a wide range of storage backends. For cloud backups, the most common choices are: ...

Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

In this article, we will leverage OCI’s capabilities to the fullest, embracing the following principles: Scalability Resilience Flexibility Security Automation The “loadfileintoadw” project is located in the same GitHub repository used so far to discuss OCI Function fn-examples . This example will help you understand how to integrate multiple OCI services and make the most of the cloud provider. We will simulate a series of weather stations that will write a CSV file with sampling data (temperature, humidity, etc.). The sensor will automatically upload the file to an Object Storage bucket. ...

Trigger a function by Object Storage

Trigger a function by Object Storage

The OCI Function service allows you to run code on infrastructure that you don’t have to manage. In this link I presented a basic example of an OCI function developed in Python. A very interesting feature is that functions can be automatically invoked by other services through an event, so we can also execute code in response to an action in the OCI cloud, or use a function as a link between multiple cloud services that can form a complex workload. ...
