[rsnapshot-discuss] Hooking rsnapshot to "aws s3 sync"

[Nico Kadel-Garcia]

Has anyone else dealt with mirroring material from an AWS S3 repository? And merged it with the "aws s3 sync" command, which is admittedly nowhere near as sophisticated as the "rsync" command? I'm looking at locally mirroring datestamped copies of S3 stored content, to keep trackable local copies of the upstream modified content.

if you mounted the volume in an aws ec2 linux instance, you could run
rsnapshot on your local box to pull versioned copies of the s3 data
through the ec2 host to your local box.
