The following command uploads an archive in the current folder named archive.zip to a vault named my-vault:

aws glacier upload-archive --account-id - --vault-name my-vault --body archive.zip

Output:

{
    "archiveId": "kKB7ymWJVpPSwhGP6ycSOAekp9ZYe_--zM_mw6k76ZFGEIWQX-ybtRDvc2VkPSDtfKmQrj0IRQLSGsNuDp-AJVlu2ccmDSyDUmZwKbwbpAdGATGDiB3hHO0bjbGehXTcApVud_wyDw",

Amazon Glacier requires an account ID argument when performing operations, but you can use a hyphen to specify the in-use account.

To retrieve an uploaded archive, initiate a retrieval job with the aws glacier initiate-job command.

Example 1: Uploads a single file to the specified vault, returning the archive ID and computed checksum.

Write-GLCArchive -VaultName myvault -FilePath c:\temp\blue.bin

Output:

FilePath                    ArchiveId              Checksum
--------                    ---------              --------
C:\temp\blue.bin            o9O9jUUs...TTX-TpIhQJw 79f3e...f4395b

Example 2: Uploads the contents of a folder hierarchy to the specified vault in the user's account. For each file uploaded the cmdlet emits the filename, corresponding archive ID and the computed checksum of the archive.

Write-GLCArchive -VaultName myvault -FolderPath . -Recurse

Output:

FilePath                    ArchiveId              Checksum
--------                    ---------              --------
