After a file is backed up in Glacier, a reference is stored in a local database.
This can be used for future retrievals with the command request_file
.
After this is done, a job is created in glacier (lasting aprox 4 hours), when this job is completed, AWS sends a request
to our sns endpoint (run_sns_listener
) previously configured on AWS dashboard.
Our listener receives the AWS response, and then proceeds to download the file.
