zfs-to-glacier VS zfs-to-aws

https://github.com/andaag/zfs-to-glacier

I built something similar a while back that I've been using for years now.

Something worth noting. There is a minimum cost to files. If you have tons of tiny kb sized files (incremental snapshots..) it's drastically cheaper to fallback to s3 for them.

ZFS to Glacier

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.
