Hi there,

Amazon offers amongst other services one named S3* (Simple Storage 
Service, moderate
price with low latency) and Glacier* (extremely cheap storage, retrieval 
can take hours,
perfect for backups only needed when disaster strikes).

With the correct config rules in place, files uploaded to S3 can be 
moved to Glacier
automatically, e.g. when the file's age is >= 14 days.

I'm curious if anybody managed to use Amazon S3 or Glacier with 
BackupPC,
e.g. as an additional safeguard against RAID failure or file system 
corruption?

I'm not sure if uploading each and every single file to S3 is the right 
way to
do this, performance-wise.

With BackupPC's feature BackupPC_archiveStart one could let BackupPC 
generate
an archive of the most recent backup and send this to S3 instead of many 
litte
files.

Did anyone try this in any way?

Any suggestions on how to implement this with BackupPC?

Thanks for your feedback

Marcel.
