Well, that's not what I wanted to hear, Peter, but you guys have very big
pipes to the outside world. We're sharing a T1 data line with our phones,
whereas AWS moves things back and forth at significantly higher speeds. It
took several months to back up a few GB on our network the first time. For
this project we can directly hook that outbound hard disk drive to send to
AWS directly to our RAID server where the files currently reside without
going through our internal network, so that part of the exercise may be
saner.
That still leaves part of my question open--is Duracloud, or are y'all,
having Fedora work with files on S3 or are you copying them to EBS (and then
snapshotting back to S3??). What is the best way to work with all of this?
