$ aws --profile glacier --region eu-central-1 glacier create-vault --account-id - --vault-name my-vault
{
    "location": "/111111111111/vaults/my-vault"
}

Upload an archive

Suppose you want to upload a file called my-archive to my-vault.

$ surge -profile glacier upload my-vault my-archive
2018/04/15 20:19:45 upload ebTlzc3QyIxUY0SjJ_p2z3QnBNDU90JWGy8EiLtnUqrHgsK3ujFyA9psn3Eg04p_s4cDsy4IR_J3g_hQuOXugMFQVA9P initiated

2018/04/15 20:19:45 finish checking uploaded parts
2018/04/15 20:19:45 start uploading part (0-1048575)
2018/04/15 20:19:45 start uploading part (1048576-2097151)
2018/04/15 20:19:45 start uploading part (2097152-2621439)
2018/04/15 20:19:50 finish uploading part (2097152-2621439)
2018/04/15 20:19:52 finish uploading part (1048576-2097151)
2018/04/15 20:19:52 finish uploading part (0-1048575)
2018/04/15 20:19:53 upload location is /111111111111/vaults/my-vault/archives/KcTmz--aiKYey0dlXzVtTLfsE3TGTNB_ZHR_09NYEMCCuSWblCo4usApoAJ8hhc6qZ9ftFSDOF5KL8cHjHtohnpsSVncD6Lu58E8MKsFxZQ_TM65MIcznFJd7rEUYX0xfcqSZHRiGg

Make sure you save the upload location somewhere, so that you can download the archive later.

If you do not specify the -upload-id option, surge initiates a new upload and outputs its ID.

Resume an upload

If an upload was interrupted due to a network error or any other reason you can resume it given that you have the upload ID.

$ surge -profile glacier upload -upload-id 42-R5PIVTdOEcoDLyoRZvn6FpccADD6Wkq1o5QmQX-bDW3i_xy2kD-vTE5viY9achbKQ2yF8R27b-91TXCIZOV7w3CxR my-vault my-archive

2018/04/15 20:31:05 part (2097152-2621439) is ok
2018/04/15 20:31:05 finish checking uploaded parts
2018/04/15 20:31:05 start uploading part (1048576-2097151)
2018/04/15 20:31:09 finish uploading part (1048576-2097151)
2018/04/15 20:31:09 upload location is /111111111111/vaults/my-vault/archives/RTj3kf4ohj18m7poG7MEIG-zf0gRzuarPzfCKKDQWhNHELln4nV4xE7-tzHq918PIvBx8k1aLFeJ7tnZv1fLCYKqNeXi5WRpef9jcsDuFv4zEeBR4YULcT579f2Ls-WSPlhmc_R6ZQ

Upon that process surge will check for already uploaded parts and will only upload what's changed or not uploaded.

Downloading

$ surge download -h
Usage: surge download [options] VAULT FILE

Download an archive retrieved from the Amazon Glacier vault

Options:
  -job-id string

Initiate an archive retrieval job

First, you need to initiate an archive retrieval job given that you have the archive ID.

$ aws --profile glacier --region eu-central-1 glacier initiate-job --account-id - --vault-name my-vault --job-parameters '{"Type": "archive-retrieval", "ArchiveId": "HcT5HUaySioeLInw7eVZle4Uy0wM5QL7qSFSZ2YXBRxmmOPJP0AlwxoQ8c1Pg29nnO_yI1YPN8w2cGB9RYWkUyO8PXxvZuXLApXhy8RaG9jN4fCTWlcpH7qci4LGfQZFH0GfoY6KVA"}'
{
    "location": "/111111111111/vaults/my-vault/jobs/wYYstv7cDdz-pO0Gc-WVgTa4cMTPWCQxZ_sN5tj5pE6nv7Za2JQZKRfi_CD_16H3t6bf3XeHTXt-ltlMK5zJV_Lczcq7",
    "jobId": "wYYstv7cDdz-pO0Gc-WVgTa4cMTPWCQxZ_sN5tj5pE6nv7Za2JQZKRfi_CD_16H3t6bf3XeHTXt-ltlMK5zJV_Lczcq7"
}

For more information about the archive retrieval process, see the official documentation.
