Automatically relocate audio files to S3 bucket

The MiaRec admin portal offers a feature to automatically relocate files to an external storage target, in this case, an AWS S3 bucket. This function moves an audio file from a local file system to an S3 bucket and updates a file path in the database for each call. Note, that function moves the file rather than creating a copy of it. A redundancy for audio files is achieved by the nature of the Amazon S3 service that provides 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability. Optionally, an automatic replication in the S3 bucket can be enabled, that copies asynchronous objects across S3 buckets. To enable such a replication, check the Amazon S3 User Guide.
