Restore archived objects in Vultr using s3cmd with direct download or restore requests for large files.
Archived objects appear with a size of 0 bytes in the bucket. Small objects can be retrieved directly by downloading them. Larger objects require an explicit restore request before they can be downloaded. The default restore window is 7 days.
Follow this guide to restore archived objects using s3cmd.
Replace S3_CONFIG with your s3cmd config file path, BUCKET_NAME with the bucket name, and OBJECT_KEY with the object's path in all commands below.
For small objects, a standard download triggers retrieval from archive.
For larger objects, issue an explicit restore request before downloading. Replace DAYS with the number of days to keep the object available.
If the object is still being retrieved from archive, the following error appears. Wait a few minutes and retry.
Once the restore completes, download the object:
