Hi Blair, We are also thinking of using ceph for 'backup'. At the moment we are using rsync and hardlinks on a drbd setup. But I think when using cephfs things could speed up, because file information is gotten from the mds daemon, so this should save on one rsync file lookup, and we expect that we can run more tasks in parallel. -----Original Message----- From: Blair Bethwaite [mailto:blair.bethwaite@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: vrijdag 3 maart 2017 0:55 To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: object store backup tool recommendations Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for good tools to perform file-system/tree backups and restores to/from a RGW object store (Swift or S3 APIs)? Happy to hear about both FOSS and commercial options please. I'm interested in: 1) tools known to work or not work at all for a basic file-based data backup Plus these extras: 2) preserves/restores correct file metadata (e.g. owner, group, acls etc) 3) preserves/restores xattrs 4) backs up empty directories and files 5) supports some sort of snapshot/versioning/differential functionality, i.e., will keep a copy or diff or last N versions of a file or whole backup set, e.g., so that one can restore yesterday's file/s or last week's but not have to keep two full copies to achieve it 6) is readily able to restore individual files 7) can encrypt/decrypt client side 8) anything else I should be considering -- Cheers, ~Blairo _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
