I'm currently using couchdb on ec2. I simply dump it to s3 and then restore it when I start another instance. It's not the cleanest way of doing it but it works well for what I'm doing. BUT ... Amazon have just released "Elastic Block Store" which means you can attach a persistent block storage device your instance. So you can put your couchdb storage on this partition and it will be persisted from instance to instance. This makes me *very* happy! http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2008/08/amazon-elastic.html rgh > Thanks > Niket -- +61 (0) 410 646 369 [e]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [im]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You're worried criminals will continue to penetrate into cyberspace, and I'm worried complexity, poor design and mismanagement will be there to meet them - Marcus Ranum
