Example usage

First get some help:

$ aws-s3-glacier-restore -h
usage: aws-s3-glacier-restore [-h] [-p PREFIX] [-i INPUT_FILE]
                              [-d DAYS_TO_KEEP] [-D DESTINATION_BUCKET]
                              [-t THREADS] [-s] [--profile PROFILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX
                        S3 prefix URL to restore
  -i INPUT_FILE, --input_file INPUT_FILE
                        Input file containing all s3 paths to restore
  -d DAYS_TO_KEEP, --days_to_keep DAYS_TO_KEEP
                        How many days to keep restored files
  -D DESTINATION_BUCKET, --destination_bucket DESTINATION_BUCKET
                        Restore to this bucket instead of to original bucket
                        while preserving same path structure as in original
                        bucket. This is useful if you don't know for how long
                        you'll need restored files. Once you don't need them
                        you can delete them from destination bucket.
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        Number of threads to use. Default=40
  -s, --status_print    Just print status of files and how many of them are in
                        glacier and how many of them are restored already
  --profile PROFILE     Use a specific AWS profile from your credential file.

Then full run might look like this:

$ aws-s3-glacier-restore -p s3://test-restore-bucket/backup2/image_1503789115/part-r-0003 -d 2

Parameter --days_to_keep (-d) specifies how long files will be accessible as regular files over S3. In case you have finished with files earlier than expected or want to extend the amount of days they are kept available, you can run the same command, but this time with modified "-d" parameter. If you specify "-d 1" this will signal that files should be archived back as soon as possible (usually happens within one day):

$ aws-s3-glacier-restore -p s3://test-restore-bucket/backup2/image_1503789115/part-r-0003 -d 0

If you want to check restore status of files you can use -s switch:

$ aws-s3-glacier-restore -p s3://test-restore-bucket/archives/cars/GlacierImageArchive_2017_10-00000001-r-0009 -s
