Re: S3 Backup using 2.6.1b2
Sorry for the delay here. On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Matt Burkhardt m...@imparisystems.com wrote: I'm not too sure what's going on - it takes about 10 days to run the backup. Here's the results from the run that started on 12/27 and the results from amstatus on the backup that started running yesterday. I checked S3, and it used up a little over 5000 tapes. Is there a time / amount limit? 5000 tapes? But your tapecycle is only 14.. do you mean 5000 S3 objects? You're getting ~60k/s. That's a little slow -- I get 115k/s on my home system (Comcast) and 179k/s on a business DSL in Cleveland -- but even tripling your speed will still leave you taking ~100h to upload 56G. S3 backups are more appropriate to data sizes around 1-2G/night (about a 7 hour backup window at your speed). There's just no good way to upload 56G quickly, unless you have a very fat pipe[1]. Dustin [1] And my experiments on such a fat pipe show that Amazon has some kind of rate limits, too, so even this isn't a great solution. My tests were done two years ago, so I'd be curious to know if this is still true. -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com

You can have a fat pipe (on both ends), but the increased hop count and the TCP overhead you will only get a percentage of your pipe. In my experiences, they have been about less than 1/2 of the pipe. Unless the backup is streamed over UDP (more efficient but no error checking). That's a good point. The broader point, though, is that neither Amazon nor most of the ISPs between you and Amazon are too keen to squeeze out every last ounce of upload speed for you, so anyone backing up more than a few gigs nightly to Amazon is going to be unhappy - regardless of pipe size. Note that you can use Amanda's planner to good effect, by specifying, say, a 2G tape size, and lots of small DLEs, thereby backing up much more than 2G of data over the course of your dumpcycle. I use this technique to keep my nightly backups to about 800M. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
RPM files for openSUSE 11.1
Hi, Is there somewhere an RPM version of amanda 2.6.0 for openSuse 11.1? I have been using amanda-backup_server-2.6.0-1.suse10.i586.rpm under 10.2, but have now upgraded to 11.1 (because 10.2 is no longer maintained). However, I cannot find any RPM for 11.1, apart from 2.5.2, which is in the openSuse 11.1 distri. In case there is none, do I need to go the tarball route? Or can I simply use the 2.6.0 RPM version for openSUSE 10, which I still have? Thanks for any advice, Charles
