Q. How do I use Enterprise Backup in Brandkit?

Brandkit Enterprise Backup is a new feature in Brandkit 2 (Released 1 May 2024) for customers on the Enterprise Edition only.

It essentially sends a copy of every file you upload to Brandkit to an independent AWS S3 storage bucket, that the customer owns (and has established with Amazon Web Services (AWS)).

In effect this means that the customer can access their files from their own AWS S3 account, should some disaster occur at Brandkit.

For example if some unforseen event occurs where our systems are down, data is lost, or the Brandkit service is not available for some reason.

How it works

1. The customer establishes/purchases an s3 storage account on AWS’s S3 Cloud Storage service.
2. The customer sets up an S3 Bucket with a name like: “Brandkit Backup”
3. The Customer adds an IAM user with access to this S3 Bucket with the policy provided in the instructions below.
4. The customer send the Access Keys for this S3 Bucket to Brandkit.
5. Brandkit System Admins then setup a backup schedule in your account’s back-end settings (this is not accessible by Customer Admins).

Once configured, the backup will run the first time and copy all the original files stored in Brandkit’s S3 storage accounts to your nominated AWS S3 Bucket. Thereafter it will run once per day at midnight and copy any new files uploaded that day.

You will need to supply Brandkit with 4 items:

• AWS Bucket Name,
• AWS Storage Region,
• AWS access key id,
• and AWS secret access key)

The Scheduled Backups can be Paused or Deleted. Deleting the Scheduled Backup will not delete any files in the customers S3 Bucket that have already been backed up.

Enterprise Backup will generate download traffic which will be reported in your overall Usage reporting, and may impact your costs (should you use more that the included usage in your plan).

e.g. If you have say 120GB of Asset Storage and turn on Enterprise Backup, you will generate 120GB of download traffic in that first month.
