Subject: Re: [rsnapshot-discuss] cloud based backup

Hullo
is there any work/success in using rsnapshot with cloud based storage?
I?ve noticed that I?m chewing through quite a lot of cash using owned
storage and would prefer an approach that used, say, Google Nearline,
or AWS glacier storage. However, neither of these supports hard links,
so the size of the backups would be huge.

I’ve looked at all of these issues and am not concerned for nearly all usecases.

How does this solve the hard links Issue? It seems to be a file and
directory sync tool, similar to insync (https://www.insynchq.com/) but
supporting more storage providers.

Agreed. Duplicity is another.

Just as a curiosity, what's your base data size, and how much change do you have per month?
We are standing up zfs under gluster for less than $70k/PB
It can be done for $60k if you stuff drive into the middle of a chassis.
It'd really make my day if you're using netapps. Please tell me you are.

My personal requirements are tiny. I have clients who have tackled PB/month scales, but not using rsnapshot. At that sort of scale, they were using specialised h/w (like you seem to be) and were concerned about bit-rot.

Replying to a list digest with a digest of replies? I've never seen that
before.

If you really need to get the list via a digest (hint: you almost certainly
don't as it's an ancient kludge designed for people with modems and UUCP),
then please reply to each message separately, otherwise it will quickly
become impossible to handle. Most modern mail clients can do this in such a
way as to preserve message threading, which means among other things not
uselessly showing the name of the digest as the Subject line.

Cheers
