Hey Jon, I would expect them to be network-type speeds on a T1 even as the buckets are mounted via FUSE. I don't have numbers, but I can say that a copy of one of my databases to /mnt/s3/bucket1 of around 250MB will timeout approximately 30% of the time. But I'm sure that copying over incremental changes, either via amanda or rsync would be successful.
At this time, my holding disk (two 2TB drives - zfs mirrored) is sufficient to contain two or three full dumps of / of both clients that I'm interested in backing up, and probably will be for another year or so - the data growth is expected to be around 7% annually. And now that I brought that up, I haven't yet considered any kind of long-term archiving. One step at a time though. -- Andrius On Sat, Jan 11, 2014 at 11:38 AM, Jon LaBadie <j...@jgcomp.com> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 11, 2014 at 10:29:27AM -0800, Andrius D.
