Syntax

The mc ilm rule export command exports the object lifecycle management configuration for an AIStor bucket.

The mc ilm rule export command outputs to STDOUT by default. You can output the contents to a .json file for archival or ingestion using mc ilm rule import.

Example

The following command exports the lifecycle management configuration of the mydata bucket on the myminio deployment to the mydata-lifecycle-config.json file:

mc ilm rule export myminio/mydata > mydata-lifecycle-config.json

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] ilm rule export ALIAS

Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with AIStor and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

AIStor provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, As their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported.

While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
