Hello,
I tested scheduled backups on AWS-S3 , in 3CX, backups are set to be done each monday night and this during 6 weeks rotation and then new backup scratch the oldest. So each week backup files stored are renamed from .zip (newest) to .5.zip (oldest). Until now i was using my FTP server to save the backups and files horodatage never changed even with 3cx renaming the existing files.
Now on AWS S3 it behave differently as each time a new backup is done, all the files are saved at same latest date and hour with only 1sec time space in between. Do you know if this is a normal behavior? or something I missed in AWS settings to keep the initial date and time, even the files are weekly renamed?
here an example

Hello,

What you are seeing there is Modification time, while I expect your previous system was showing file creation time - this would be down to how each (file) system keeps and exposes file meta-data.

Without claiming any expertise it seems that for S3 the only way to have some indication of the original creation data is to activate file versioning, and then this will still not be seen in the general file listing.
 
Ok so if i resume your answer S3 doesn't offer the same it was on my FTP and probably no chance to get better, like it was, am i right understanding?
 
Yes, it seems you do not have that information in S3.
