Replication

If you have access to accounts hosting both source and destination bucket (it can be the same account), we recommend using replication-setup command described below. Otherwise use manual setup.

Automatic setup

Setup replication

$ b2 replication-setup --destination-profile myprofile2 my-bucket my-bucket2

You can optionally choose source rule priority and source rule name. See replication-setup command.

Note

replication-setup will reuse or provision a source key with no prefix and full reading capabilities and a destination key with no prefix and full writing capabilities

Manual setup

Setup source key

$ b2 create-key my-bucket-rplsrc readFiles,readFileLegalHolds,readFileRetentions
0014ab1234567890000000123 K001ZA12345678901234567890ABCDE

Setup source replication

$ b2 update-bucket --replication '{
    "asReplicationSource": {
        "replicationRules": [
            {
                "destinationBucketId": "85644d98debc657d880b0e1e",
                "fileNamePrefix": "files-to-share/",
                "includeExistingFiles": false,
                "isEnabled": true,
                "priority": 128,
                "replicationRuleName": "my-replication-rule-name"
            }
        ],
        "sourceApplicationKeyId": "0014ab1234567890000000123"
    }
}' my-bucket

Setup destination key

$ b2 create-key --profile myprofile2 my-bucket-rpldst writeFiles,writeFileLegalHolds,writeFileRetentions,deleteFiles
0024ab2345678900000000234 K001YYABCDE12345678901234567890

Setup destination replication

$ b2 update-bucket --profile myprofile2 --replication '{
    "asReplicationDestination": {
        "sourceToDestinationKeyMapping": {
            "0014ab1234567890000000123": "0024ab2345678900000000234"
        }
    }
}' my-bucket
