To restore a previous version of an S3 object using s3cmd, you can follow these steps:
Install s3cmd: If you don't have s3cmd installed on your machine, you can install it by following the instructions specific to your operating system. You can find installation instructions on the official s3cmd website or refer to the documentation for your operating system.
Configure s3cmd: After installing s3cmd, you need to configure it to connect to your AWS account. Open the command line or terminal and run the following command:
s3cmd --configure
This will prompt you to enter your access key, secret key, and other configuration details. Follow the instructions and provide the required information to complete the configuration.
List versions of an S3 object: To see the available versions of an S3 object, use the following command:
s3cmd ls s3://bucket-name/object-key
Replace bucket-name with the name of your S3 bucket and object-key with the key of the object you want to restore.
Restore a previous version: Once you know the version you want to restore, use the following command to restore it:
s3cmd restore s3://bucket-name/object-key#version-id
Replace bucket-name and object-key with the respective names, and version-id with the ID of the version you want to restore. The #version-id appended to the object key is important to specify the version.
Verify the restoration: After running the restore command, you can verify the restoration by running the list command again:
s3cmd ls s3://bucket-name/object-key
That's it! You have successfully restored a previous version of an S3 object using s3cmd.
