mc version enable

Syntax

The mc version enable command enables versioning on the specified bucket.

 mc version enable myminio/mybucket

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] version enable ALIAS                \
                                --exclude-folders    \
                                --excluded-prefixes

Parameters

ALIAS

mc-cmd

Required

The alias of a MinIO deployment and the full path to the bucket for which to enable versioning. For example:

mc version enable myminio/mybucket

--exclude-folders

mc-cmd

Optional

Disable versioning on all folders (objects whose name ends with /) in the specified bucket.

--excluded-prefixes

mc-cmd

Optional

Disable versioning on objects matching a list of prefixes, up to 10. The list of prefixes match all objects containing the specified strings in their prefix or name, similar to a regular expression of the form prefix*. To match objects by prefix only, use prefix/*.

For example, the following command excludes any objects containing _test or _temp in their prefix or name from versioning:

mc version enable --excluded-prefixes "_test, _temp" myminio/mybucket

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Example

Enable Bucket Versioning

Use mc version enable to enable versioning for a bucket:

mc version enable ALIAS/PATH

• Replace ALIAS with the alias of a configured MinIO deployment.
• Replace PATH with the bucket on which to enable versioning.

Behavior

Bucket Versioning with Existing Data

Enabling bucket versioning on a bucket with existing data immediately creates a NULL value version ID for each unversioned object.

S3 Compatibility

SILO is the supported server for PGSTY mcli; compatibility with upstream MinIO and other S3 services is best effort.
