Backup to Amazon S3

[vzfanatic]

Hi all,

I've been playing with backing up to the amazon S3, and, would like to see about storing my backups there. Amazon has a 5gb fil size limit, so, what I was hoping for some help with is changing the vzdump script in Proxmox to create a max file size of 5gb, and use GPG encryption. This way, I don't have to use 2x my storage creating new encrypted backups to store at S3.

Has any one done such a thing, or, can give me some guidance on how to do it?

Cheers

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a car with numerous 2TB backup disks
I would love to use cloud for backup but I do not have enough bandwidth to do so.

I read that Amazon really likes smaller files around 250MB max.
So just split your backup file into smaller pieces and then send the numerous smaller files to Amazon:

split –bytes=250m /path/to/large/file /path/to/output/file/prefix

To re-assemble the file:

cat /path/to/output/file/prefix* > SingleFileAgain

Hope that helps!
