  • glacier_deep_archive_backup

    Extremely low cost, off-site backup/restore using AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive

    It's aes256 using openssl:

    https://github.com/mrichtarsky/glacier_deep_archive_backup/b...

    Does that leak information you would be concerned about?

    It's always a full backup.

  • arq_restore

    command-line utility for restoring from Arq backups

    Arq is a GUI client that stores your backups in the location you set it up for. See screenshot in the "Back up to your own cloud account." section on https://www.arqbackup.com.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • zfs-to-aws

    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.

  • zfs-to-glacier

    A tool to sync zfs snapshots to s3-glacier, written in rust.

    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.

  • ccheck

    Simple, easy to use, minimal consistency checker (hasher) for file archives.

    Here's my "me too" — I've been happily using rclone for things like photo archives (together with my small consistency checker to check file hashes for corruption https://github.com/jwr/ccheck). I also use Arq Backup with B2 as the destination. This gives me very reasonable storage costs and backups I can access and test regularly.

  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Yandex Files
