Hi all,
we are generally content with the possibilities and features of BackupPC.
Still here are some ideas we have, which might be either of interest for some
of you too or already solved somewhere. In either case I would love to hear
your comments:
- Encrypted tapes: Writing weekly full dumps to tape or disk is nice, but we
would love to feed these through gpg at the time of writing. Has anybody done
this? And is this better done with writing the tars to a temporary (encrypted)
partition and then manually feed trough gpg to tape or is there an easy way to
extend BackupPC_tarCreate to write gpg-encrypted tar?
- Writing to AmazonS3 and other remote storages. Using a tape is nice, but
when the tapes are stored near the drive and therefor near the server itself,
there is no 'offsite' involved. And as a service to our customers we would love
to not sell them real tapes but virtual tape space at amazon or any other
remote-storage (might be our own machines) where the weekly tapes get pushed.
Of course together with the encryption solved.
Are these ideas way off track? Do they fit into the perspective of BackupPC?
Has
anyone already done one of those successfully and would share the solution?
Any hints from the devs whether these ideas are worth putting them on the
feature-request-list?
Thanks for your comments,
Arnold
