            When you delete local files after backing them up, on the next run backup tools will simply delete what you have backed up so far, unless you set up backup retention.
            I use Arq backup: https://www.arqbackup.com/ - it doesn't delete files after backing up, but I wouldn't want my backup utility to do that anyway. Arq has a feature to mark folders are archived once backed up, and then local sources can be deleted, but not by the backup software.
            What you're looking for is archiving software, not a backup one.

              Keep in mind, if you delete the original file S3 is not a backup system, it is an archival storage system without a backup.

                Sometimes, but not necessarily. The API is shared but not all tools are set up for it.

                  I use TNT Drive and Beyond Compare with Windows Task Scheduler to run comparisons and copies of my Veeam backup repository and Amazon S3. Works really well.

                    Thanks all for the support.

                    Cloudberry seems to be good and suggested to the management.

                      Great. Definitely let us know how it ends up working out.

                        I'm using CloudBerry to back up to Glacier.

                              Hello All,

                              Any one using any software to SYNC local folder to AWS S3 Bucket.

                              We need only one-way Sync, as the local folder files will be cleanup every week, but all the files need to be in S3 Bucket. This Sync can be schedule as 5 mins or less

                              Thanks in advance

                                Any tool that lets you mount S3 locally, the rsync to do the sync should work fine.

                                  In CloudBerry backup there is an option to do Real-Time backup and this will execute to backup the change in every 60 sec.

                                  This option satisfy my need as it will backup files to aws on real-time and file deleted from local will not get deleted from AWS.

                                  Thanks All for the support.

                                    Sounds like a good solution, then.

                                      @scottalanmiller Yes Scott, Its a good solution if we want a Continuous Real-time Backup (CDP)

                                      With this feature every change to the files will be captured automatically and you don't need to set up a separate schedule for the backup. The software will automatically look for new and modified files and send the copies to the cloud storage in the background.

                                        How does that handle open files?

                                            not entirely true. if you enable versioning on the s3 bucket a delete will not delete the file permanently. add to the bucket MFA Delete and then you'd have to issue the mfa token to even delete a file.

                                            as you can see the bucket it empty after deleting the index.html file, but it's not, all versions still exist.
