I tend to think that will be targeting local cloud storage, for example ownCloud, in enterprise environments. I'm not sure something like S3 is very useful for direct backup storage over the Internet. A 1 TB backup over a 100 Mbps connection would take a minimum of 22+ hours, assuming maximum throughput and that S3 could actually sustain 12.5 MB/s. For S3, copying via a script seems the best way to go. > > All the best, > > Uwe > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
