zfs-to-aws VS rclone

I've created similar functionality just using bash that will send the lates version of ZFS datasets to S3/Glacier, including dealing with incremental changes. I have mentioned this previously on HN and got a few useful changes submitted for it, especially making it more platform agnostic.

I have some open tickets asking about restoring. I haven't tried this yet as this has been a backup of last resort for me, but hopefully posting this again will nudge me into looking at that.

For anyone who might be interested in doing this with fewer dependencies/tooling I have written a bash script that pushes ZFS snapshots to S3:

I have it running in a cronjob on my NAS nightly, and a retention policy on aws to push it straight into glacier.

There's no restore script as this is my last line of backups, so I thought if I was restoring from here I'd want to do it manually. I might get around to writing one now however.

rclone: a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage.

Synchronise buckets with Sclone or Rclone

Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.

There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

rclone [1] to dropbox. works since years without problems

rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.
