Copy the directory structure corresponding to RootFolders on the file system to Amazon S3.

• If you want to copy the RootFolder content on EC2 instance, use the Amazon Command Line tool (awscli). For example,

aws s3 cp C:\PTC\Windchill\vaults\defaultuploadvault
s3://Testbucket/defaultuploadvault-–recursive

Specify the encryption options from the following while copying the directory structure.

◦ Option ‘--sse’ encrypts the content using AES256.

◦ Option ‘--sse amws:kms’ uses default AWS KMS Key ID for encryption.

◦ Option ‘--sse aws:kms --sse-kms-key-id <keyid>’ use specified Keyid for encryption.
