Restoring an Archive Object (SDK for Go)

Function

To obtain the content of an object in the Archive storage class, you need to restore the object first and then you can download it. After an object is restored, a copy of the object is saved in the Standard storage class. By doing so, the object in the Archive storage class and its copy in the Standard storage class co-exist in the bucket. The copy will be automatically deleted once its retention period expires.

You can use this API to restore an Archive object in a specified bucket.

Restrictions

  • To restore an Archive object, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:RestoreObject in IAM or RestoreObject in a bucket policy.) For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Configuring an Object Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • To prolong the validity period of the Archive data restored, you can repeatedly restore the data, but you will be billed for each restore. After a second restore, the validity period of Standard object copies will be prolonged, and you need to pay for storing these copies during the prolonged period.

Method

Request Parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

input

*RestoreObjectInput

Yes

Explanation:

Input parameters for restoring an Archive object. For details, see Table 2.

Table 2 RestoreObjectInput

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

Bucket

string

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket name

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.
  • A bucket name:
    • Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.
    • Cannot be formatted as an IP address.
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.).
    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.
    • Cannot contain a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
  • If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket attributes comply with those set in the first creation request.

Default value:

None

Key

string

Yes

Explanation:

Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name.

For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

VersionId

string

No

Explanation:

Version ID of the to-be-restored Archive object

Default value:

None. If this parameter is left blank, the latest version of the object is specified.

Days

int

Yes

Explanation:

After an object is restored, a Standard copy of it is generated. This parameter specifies how long the Standard copy can be retained, that is, the validity period of the restored object.

Value range:

The value ranges from 1 to 30, in days.

Default value:

None

Tier

RestoreTierType

No

Explanation:

Retrieval speed tiers. You can select a suitable tier based on your requirements for retrieval speed.

Value range:

For details, see Table 3.

Default value:

Standard

Table 3 RestoreTierType

Constant

Default Value

Description

RestoreTierExpedited

Expedited

Objects can be quickly restored from Archive storage within 1 to 5 minutes.

RestoreTierStandard

Standard

Objects can be restored from Archive storage within 3 to 5 hours.

Responses

Parameter

Type

Description

output

*BaseModel

Explanation:

Returned results. For details, see Table 5.

err

error

Explanation:

Error messages returned by the API

Table 5 BaseModel

Parameter

Type

Description

StatusCode

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

Default value:

None

RequestId

string

Explanation:

Request ID returned by the OBS server

Default value:

None

ResponseHeaders

map[string][]string

Explanation:

HTTP response headers

Default value:

None

  • The object specified in ObsClient.RestoreObject must be in the Archive storage class. Otherwise, an error will be reported when you call this API.
  • RestoreObjectInput.Days is used to specify how long (1 to 30 days) the restored object will be retained and RestoreObjectInput.Tier is used to specify how fast the object will be restored.
