UPDATE (September 2017):
AWS S3’s Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) is being phased out lately. For this reason we removed this option from the S3 Enhanced add on settings panel.
The next release of UpdraftPlus Premium (not the one you’re seeing this week) comes with a new option for Amazon S3 users – reduced redundancy storage.
As Amazon say,
Amazon S3’s standard and reduced redundancy options both store data in multiple facilities and on multiple devices, but with RRS, data is replicated fewer times, so the cost is less. Amazon S3 standard storage is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities, while RRS is designed to provide 99.99% durability and to sustain the loss of data in a single facility.
It’s tested and working, and will be with you soon…
