Locally backup S3 buckets #362

Open pgtaboada opened 8 years ago

pgtaboada commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I would like to backup a S3 bucket to a local storage using attic. What would be the best approach?

See this issue with borg (fork of attic): https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/102

pgtaboada commented 8 years ago

that is exactly the wrong direction. I want to backup my bucket locally, and not backup my local files to the s3 bucket...

jungle-boogie commented 8 years ago

I see.

Can you mount s3 on a aws virtual machine? If so, you could install borg and then send it to your local machine. If not, it sounds like the same problem in the ticket referenced above--borg would need to run on the remote side.

You would want to mount your S3 storage via FUSE and then use this as the source of your backup. See https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse

If you encounter any issues, let us how! :-)
