Hi, I'm looking for a "cloud backup" solution for Linux, where I'll be able to use "rsync", "sftp" (and similar utilities) to a remote server to back up by files, and when needed, look at individual files (e.g., using sshfs) or restore all my files.
I am *not* looking for a solution based on special purpose (and usually, closed source) utilities or daemons that attempt to decide for me what to back up and when - I want to be of full control of this process. For the last 3 years, I've been using the services of "rsync.net", and they're doing exactly what I want. However, the storage price I pay them is 40 cents per gigabyte per month, is 4 times that of Amazon's, so I think there must be a cheaper solution. One thing I've been thinking - wouldn't it be fairly easy to store my files on Amazon's S3 or even more simply EBS, and then run rsync server on a micro instance on EC2? Sounds like a cheap, convenient backup solution for Linux diehards like myself, and I wonder if anyone has done this before and then I won't need to code this myself? Thanks, Nadav. -- Nadav Har'El | Saturday, Feb 23 2013, 13 Adar 5773 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Creativity consists of coming up with http://nadav.harel.org.il |many ideas, not just that one great idea. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
