Object Versioning and Copying

Akave O3 supports S3-compatible object versioning and copying, allowing you to preserve file history, retrieve older versions, and copy data within or across buckets – all using familiar AWS CLI tools.

Enable Versioning on a Bucket

Using aws s3api:

aws s3api put-bucket-versioning \
  --bucket my-akave-bucket \
  --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

aws s3 does not support versioning configuration directly – use s3api for this.

List Object Versions

Using aws s3api:

aws s3api list-object-versions \
  --bucket my-akave-bucket \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Using aws s3:

aws s3 ls s3://my-akave-bucket --recursive --human-readable \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Note: aws s3 will show the latest versions only. Use s3api for full version metadata.

Download a Specific Version

Using aws s3api:

aws s3api get-object \
  --bucket my-akave-bucket \
  --key myfile.txt \
  --version-id <version-id> \
  ./myfile.txt \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Using aws s3:

Not directly supported for specific versions. Use s3api if version targeting is required.

Delete a Specific Version

Using aws s3api:

aws s3api delete-object \
  --bucket my-akave-bucket \
  --key myfile.txt \
  --version-id <version-id> \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Using aws s3:

Not supported — use s3api for versioned object deletion.

Copy an Object

Within the same bucket (using s3api):

aws s3api copy-object \
  --bucket my-akave-bucket \
  --copy-source my-akave-bucket/myfile.txt \
  --key myfile-copy.txt \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Using aws s3:

aws s3 cp s3://my-akave-bucket/myfile.txt s3://my-akave-bucket/myfile-copy.txt \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Across buckets:

aws s3 cp s3://source-bucket/myfile.txt s3://destination-bucket/myfile-copy.txt \
  --endpoint-url https://o3-rc1.akave.xyz

Note: While aws s3api offers full control over versioning and metadata, aws s3 is easier for basic operations. Use them together for a flexible Akave O3 workflow.
