Hello,
Tonight I started playing around with amazon s3 as a backup solution for
my company. I quickly stumbled upon your website for s3cmd and its
providing exactly what I need. After playing around with it for a while
I have a few questions. I'd like to say I'm using this as a replacement
for rsync'ing files between a backup server and client servers.
1.) When using the sync command with the -r option it doesn't seem to
sync sub directories of the directory I'm syncing? I'm sure I'm just
missing something here.
2.) If I create 4 files all owned by root:root then sync with s3. Then
change one to dylan:dylan when I run the sync command again it doesn't
sync this file as it thinks nothing has changed? Any way to fix this?
I'm running the sync command with the -p option.
3.) When I sync using the -p option I can verify through the s3 console
that the ownership is storing correctly on amazons end through the
metadata. But when I perform a get to retrieve the file it is owned by
the user that retrieved the file. This would be a major pain when having
to restore backups as I will have files owned by 100's if not 1000's of
users.
Overall this utility is awesome and has made s3 much easier to tackle
than I originally thought.
Also as a bit of a side discussion does anyone use the reduced
redundancy storage? Does that mean amazon doesn't take backups of your
info on s3? How much money does it save you?
Thank you in advance,
Dylan K
