We have a 10gbit connection from the server to campus backbone which has 
multiple 10gbit connections to the internet. In practice 1-2 gbits
of throughput to google drive. We rarely exceed that to tape.

Again, I don't think a fuse/google-drive solution is robust enough. I
also don't think keeping the connection up during collection, 
compression, encryption is feasible. Transfer would be done at the
end.

The idea would be treating the storage pool like a virtual tape
drive with a limited number of slots. Unmounting a volume means
copy it out to the network. Mounting a volume means copying it back.
Once a volume is unmounted its marked read/only.

This would be for write once read rarely for anything unmounted. Fast
for recent files, painful for older files.

Just wondered if anyone had tried anything like this. Maybe there
is different backup software that would be a better fit.
