I did check out SparkleShare but I got put off by the fact that it uses the mono framework, which is an implementation Microsoft. I'd much rather try and 'roll my own' in some way. I'm currently using Jungle Disk to do my backups to S3 _but, especially given that JD uses proprietory encryption and data storage methods, I'm a bit concerned about the long-term viability of this setup. The question is, would the convenience of having an S3 bucket mounted as a 'regular' volume, rather than having to deal with Amazon's proprietory API and data format outweigh the inconvenience of the slower access?Ĥ: Bandwidth: Piping everything to S3 via my Linode will obviously involve using a fairly huge chunk of bandwidth for the first backup but, assuming some block-level sync'ing mechanism can be put in place, subsequent backups shouldn't be too hungry, should they? Here are some of the issues I'm thinking about so far:ġ: Security: How secure is the mounted S3 volume from outside access? The wiki article instructions mount it as root and it's outside the obvious publically accessible parts of my Linode, but I'm not quite clear on how easy it would be for some ne'er-do-well to access such a mounted volume on my LinodeĢ: Sync'ing: I've not used rsync before and my reading is turning up contradictory opinions as to its suitability for this kind of backup some people claiming that rsync cannot do block-level synchronisation, if the backup is encrypted and other people claiming it canģ: Speed: I'm presuming there would be a performance hit, given that any such backup would be sending data from my laptop to my Linode, which would then in turn be sending that data onto S3. As I said, I'm a bit vague on some of the nitty-gritty details and security implications, so any thoughts gratefully received. Now I'm wondering Could I use this bucket as a destination for backing up my laptop at home? I'm thinking something along the lines of a cron job using rsync to ssh into my linode and make an incremental backup to the mounted S3 volume. The app works with many popular cloud computing services, as well as remote servers.I've just installed S3fs as per this article on the Linode Wiki and got one of my Amazon S3 storage buckets automatically mounting as a volume on my Linode.
