I'm aware. You suggested a SCSI interface to S3. This sounds wrong on so my levels.. A filesystem driver for S3 would be usable, but neither will give you any independence. Quite the contrary. You'll become completely dependent on systems that provide this interface. This might not be a problem, but you started out saying that this was a good way of achieving independence. > Someone else mentioned: fuse plugin. this looks promising: > http://code.google.com/p/s3fs-fuse/ it's obviously linux specific, but > should be pretty trivial to set up with bacula Quite so. That doesn't help people on systems that don't support FUSE, though. I'm not one of them, but I think this would be useful in Bacula itself. > Kern also has an idea. See his recent post. His idea is a repeat of one of my suggestions, namely teaching Bacula to interact directly with S3. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/
