+title: Object Storage product reversibility policy
+updated: 2025-06-24
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+This document outlines the reversibility policy for the product Object Storage.
+
+This policy aims to implement the general principles of reversibility and our compliance with the SWIPO IaaS Code of Conduct for cloud providers.
+
+## List of features
+
+The features of the Product are divided into three categories:
+
+- The main features for which we guarantee you the possibility to migrate.
+- The OVHcloud implementation, the migration of which will require adaptations to a new environment.
+- Specific features which migration as such is impossible to guarantee because they are linked to the OVHcloud environment or specific developments.
+
+### Main features
+
+| **Feature** | **Description** | **Available formats** | **Migration model** | **Available documentation** |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| S3<sup>1</sup> API Compatibility | S3 compatible interface (standard RESTful API, AWS CLI tools, SDK, etc.) | S3 (REST, JSON, multipart upload) | **Incoming**: Direct upload via  compatible S3 API, CLI tools, SDK or migration from any other S3-compatible storage. <br> **Outgoing**: Direct upload/export via S3 API, CLI or SDK to any other S3-compatible provider. |[S3 API](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/pcs_object_storage_standard_s3_and_swift_rest_api_compatibility) |
+| Massive export/import of objects | Batch data import/export via S3 tools (sync, cp, etc.) | S3 (objects, folders) | **Incoming**: Use rclone or equivalent tools to migrate data from another solution <br>  **Outgoing**: Massive export via the same tools to another S3 platform or compatible. | [Manage buckets](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_getting_started_with_object_storage) |
+| Object versioning | Native management of object versions (storage of each version when editing/deleting) | S3 (versioning) | **Incoming**: Import versioned objects from another S3.<br> **Outgoing**: Export versions via API/CLI, compatible with other S3. | [Getting started with versioning](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_versioning) |
+| Server-side encryption (SSE-S3/SSE-C) | Native encryption of objects at rest, compatible with S3 standards | S3 (HSSE-S3, HSSE-C) | **Incoming**: Upload of encrypted or unencrypted data, transparent management.<br>  **Output**: Export without adaptation, encryption maintained or reprocessed by the target. | [Object Storage Encryption](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_encrypt_your_objects_with_sse_c) |
+| Interoperability with third-party solutions | Native support for Veeam, HYCU, Nextcloud, Kubernetes, etc. | S3 (API, JSON, objets) | **Incoming**: Direct integration via plugins or connectors.<br>  **Outgoing**: Export data via native tools or S3 API to the target. | [Object storage with Veeam](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_veeam) |
+
+### OVHcloud Implementation
+
+| **Feature** | **Description** | **Available formats** | **Migration model** | **Available documentation** |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Asynchronous Replication OVHcloud | Automatic replication of data to a separate OVHcloud region configured by the client | S3 (replicated objects) | **Incoming**: Not applicable to direct import, requires OVHcloud configuration.<br>  **Outgoing**: Manual restore from the replicated region, then export to external target (requires adaptation if the target does not have an equivalent mechanism). | [Cross region replication](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_asynchronous_replication) |
+| Object Lock | Object immutability (WORM), prevents deletion/modification for a defined period | S3 (Object Lock) | **Incoming**: Requires the source to support S3 Object Lock.</b>  **Outgoing**: Export possible, but the target must support S3 locking or manual adjustment of immutability policies.** | [Object storage ObjectLock](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_managing_object_lock) |
+| ACL and advanced access management | Rights management access via ACL S3, or specific policies | S3 (ACL, policies) | **Incoming** : Adaptation of accesses according to the target structure. <br>  **Outgoing**: Export of objects, but reconfiguration of ACL/policies required on the destination platform | [Access management](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_bucket_acl) |
+
+### Specific features
+
+| **Feature** | **Description** | **Available formats** | **Migration model** | **Available documentation** |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Management via OVHcloud Manager/OVHcloud API | OVHcloud proprietary GUI and API for storage management | N/A | **Incoming**: Not applicable.  **Output**: Scripts/API to be rewritten for the target environment. | [Manage-buckets](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_bucket_acl) |
+
+## List of architectures
+
+Object Storage by OVHcloud uses erasure coding to ensure resiliency and prevent from a rack failure. It garantees a high availability and the continuity of the service even in the event of major outages  
+Asynchronous replication is available as an option (Asynchronous Replication), allowing automatic data backup to another OVHcloud region.
+
+## Partner services
+
+OVHcloud partners are listed with the keyword "Cloud Migration" in the [dedicated directory](/links/partner).
+
+OVHcloud also offers a dedicated service : [OVHcloud Professional Services](/links/professional-services).
+
+## Cost and fees
+
+**No termination fees:** No extra billing. The service is stopped immediately once it's removed.
+
+## Data retention after termination of the contract
+
+The data (Objects and Buckets) can be deleted by customer action (CLI) or via a service decommission by deleting the Public Cloud project related to the product. This triggers an automatic release of resources. No data restoration will be possible after these actions.
+
+Manual export is necessary to preserve your data.
+However, you should pay close attention to the Object Lock feature. You can find more information on our guide to [Managing object immutability with Object Lock (WORM)](/pages/storage_and_backup/object_storage/s3_managing_object_lock).
