This is very interesting, I'm very interested in learning more.
So, let me see if I understand this properly:
1. You get an S3 account
2. You install s3fs (from github)
3. There is a config option in the s3fs to use a cache, and somehow you
specify the EBS volume as the cache
4. Bacula is then configured to back up to the s3fs
I'm sure there is more details, and am eager to learn about this.
I'm going to have a few weeks to learn about it while I recover from
surgery next week (donating a kidney), so will be watching for your reply.
Thanks

Hey there Heitor!
Nice to hear from ya bud!! I actually did get this to work. The key
that lead to success was to add a 'use_cache' option. I basically
assigned a 10GB EBS volume just to use as a cache. It was just an
experiment, and I planned on getting did of the 10GB EBS and get one
much smaller to use later.
But what I found is that the 10GB volume filled up to 8.5GB during
backups and restores! Everything worked, but it appears that a large
cache is the only answer. Almost defeats the purpose of using S3, but
not quite I hope.
I think what was happening previously was that S3FS was hitting some
sort of default cache limit and dying out.
It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Cuz I was planning on
adding a number of new hosts to backups that I previously couldn't
afford to due to the expense of storing my backup tapes on EBS. S3 is
way cheaper.
I can let you guys know how it goes if you're intetested.
Thanks,
Tim

Also I'm wondering if there's any optimizations or changes
that anyone may know about that I can do to S3FS to allow
this to work?
Just in time: you can always try to download your volumes using
AWS web interface.
Thanks,
Tim
