GoodSync

Back up or sync a local folder to a Zata bucket with GoodSync.

GoodSync backs up or synchronises folders between your computer and cloud storage. It connects to Zata through its Amazon S3 account type with the Zata endpoint as the server address.

Before you start

• A bucket. See Create a bucket.
• An access key from the same region as the bucket. See Access keys.
• GoodSync installed.

Connection settings

Setting	Value
Server Address	idr01.zata.ai for Indore, bom01.zata.ai for Mumbai
Initial Path	/ and your bucket name, for example /my-bucket
AWS Access Key ID / AWS Secret Access Key	From Access Keys in the Zata console. The key must be from the same region as the bucket.

GoodSync uses host-based (virtual-host style) addressing by default. This works with Zata, except for bucket names that contain dots. Use a bucket name without dots.

Set up GoodSync

Create a job

Click New Job. Enter a job name, choose Backup (one way) or Synchronize (two way), and click OK.

Choose the local folder

On the left side, browse to the local folder you want to back up, for example D:\Projects.

Connect the right side to Zata

On the right side, choose Amazon S3 and add a new account. Fill in the fields from the table above, click Test, then click Save. Select your bucket or a folder in it and click Apply.

Run it on a schedule (optional)

Check that AutoRun ON shows in the toolbar. Click Auto, tick Periodically (On Timer), every, set the interval, and click Save.

Test it

Put a small file in the local folder and run the job once by hand. Check that the file appears in your bucket in the Zata console. Then restore or sync it back to a local folder to confirm it can be downloaded.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Cannot connect	Check that Server Address is idr01.zata.ai or bom01.zata.ai and matches the bucket's region.
Certificate error with a bucket name that has dots	Use a bucket name without dots. See Network and certificates.
Access denied or invalid credentials	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces.
Files do not upload on their own	Make sure AutoRun ON shows and set a Periodically schedule under Auto.
