If you wanted to do something like that, some hints: - treat the storage similar to DVDs, i.e. use an extra script to write parts to it. - or start using vchanger. Instead of symlinking files, you'd copy them from / to the remote storage. - you might mount the remote storage somehow, or copy the contents to a local directory before restoring; both can be done using Baculas configuration plus some scripts - I think. - Take your time testing things. Whatever you do, it won't work immediately. Be prepared to spend some working days on it. - Don't forget to post your solution :-) And, not to forget: I wouldn't trust Amazon far enough to keep my backups in their storage. They spying on your data is one thing easily handled with encryption. But can you be sure you can access your backup volumes when you really need them? And will they be intact? I don't think Amazon can compete with a RAID array or a tape regarding these issues...
