Asset Exporter
Exports assets in regular intervals to a defined folder. If metadata has to be exported as well (as CSV or Excel file), you can use the "Extended Asset Exporter". Also supports public URLs now.
Properties
To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties
Renamed from documentExport to assetExporter in version 2.16.0, if you use a version below 2.16.0, use documentExport as property prefix, otherwise use assetExporter
With a restricted license, the number of exports is limited. E.g. { "licensee": "celum", "product": "assetExporter", "maxExports": 6 }

Amazon S3 Export
- Create an IAM-User with AmazonS3FullAccess to get the Access Key ID and the Secret Access Key.
- Create a bucket to get Bucket and Region.
- Choose Amazon S3 as Export type and enter the values from above.
Attention
- We need the region and not the region name which is specified when creating the bucket. See here for a list of all values. For digitalocean you can see the region in the URL, e.g. brix.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com.
- The base path is required and cannot be "/" (unless you make a node export and have no assets directly in that node). This is because uploading assets directly into the bucket without subfolder will fail, and libraries cannot be shaded because awssdk loads some classes by name.
- Make sure that all the file names adhere the naming conventions. When in doubt, use the ID structure path resolver and the download format ID name resolver.
Note (28.10.2019): digitalocean is not fully S3 compatible, that's why leftover deletion is not supported there (will lead to an error).
