    Integrate AvePoint Opus with IDrive® e2

    AvePoint Opus is an AI-powered information lifecycle management platform that automates data classification, retention, archiving, and governance across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and other repositories. Integrating AvePoint Opus with IDrive® e2 enables you to extend these capabilities with a scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud object storage for optimized data management and compliance.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, ensure the following:

    1. An active IDrive® e2 account. Sign up here if you do not have one.
    2. A bucket in IDrive® e2. See how to create a bucket.
    3. Valid Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Learn how to create an access key.
    4. A valid AvePoint Opus account.

    Configure AvePoint Opus with IDrive® e2 Cloud Storage

    1. Log in to your AvePoint Opus portal.
    2. Click Settings in the left-hand pane and select Global Storage Settings.
    3. Click Create in the Global storage settings tab.
    4. To create storage, enter your IDrive® e2 details.
      1. Enter a name for the Storage location.
      2. Select Amazon S3-Compatible storage as the Storage type.
      3. Enter your IDrive® e2 bucket name as the Bucket name.
      4. Enter your IDrive® e2 Access Key as the Access key ID to access the specified bucket.
      5. Enter your IDrive® e2 Secret key as the Secret access key.
      6. Enter your IDrive® e2 S3 endpoint as the Endpoint.
      7. Select the Advanced Check Box to configure extended parameters. Enter the following parameters in Advanced settings if necessary. If you have multiple parameters to enter, use a semicolon (;) to separate the parameters.
        1. SignatureVersion: By default, Cloud Backup uses V4 authentication to access your storage. To use V2 authentication, add SignatureVersion=V2 into the extended parameters.
        2. RetryInterval: Customize the retry interval when the network connection is interrupted. Enter any positive integer between 0 and 2147483646 (the unit is milliseconds). For example, RetryInterval=30000 means that it will try to reconnect every 30000 milliseconds. If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 30000 milliseconds by default.
        3. RetryCount: Customize the number of reconnection attempts after the network connection is interrupted. Enter any positive integer between 0 and 2147483646. For example, RetryCount=6 represents that when the network connection is interrupted, it can reconnect at most 6 times. If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 6 by default.
        4. CustomizedMetadata: Configure if customized metadata or user-added metadata is supported. By default, customized metadata and user-added metadata are all supported. You can also set the value to Close, SupportAll, or CustomizedOnly.
      8. Retain archived data: Based on your bucket settings, this option allows you to set a retention period for archived data and specify whether to delete or move the data to another storage location.
    5. Click Save to save your storage profile.
    6. Select your IDrive® e2 cloud storage and then click Set Default.

    Note: Data restoration is handled by your specific backup solution provider and is affected by multiple variables that are unique to your environment. For application-related enquiries/support, it is strongly recommended you seek guidance from the technical team of your backup solution provider.
