Serverless FTP Backups

For customers who want us to directly access your Files using SnapShooters fleet of global servers.

  1. SnapShooter boots a container in a SnapShooter cluster of your choosing.
  2. Once booted, this container connects your Files and begins the backup process.
  3. Data from Files begins streaming to the SnapShooter Container.
  4. The container compresses the data and uploads it to your storage.
  5. Confirmation of uploaded chunk is received; repeat steps 3, 4, 5 until backup completed.
  6. During the backup, metadata is periodically sent back to SnapShooter for real-time monitoring.
  7. Once the backup is completed, SnapShooter confirms the file size with the storage.
