Hello list, I'm toying with the idea of using Gluster as a user facing network share, and geo-replicating the data for backup purposes. At a bare minimum I'd like geo-replicate to not sync file deletions immediately to the slave, but instead queue those deletions for a configurable period of time (say 7 days). As an added bonus, moving a file would actually leave a copy behind with a data stamp suffix on the slave. I could then have a cron job cleanup old file copies. Lastly I would then expose the geo-replicated volume to users as read-only so they could retrieve old files if necessary, perhaps in a web-ui. At the end of the day I suppose I'm looking for a VSS style solution. >From some research it doesn't look like either of these solutions exist in Gluster right now, are there any plans for this type of use-case? Obviously this would cause some serious havoc if the volume was used as a VM store so it would need to be properly cautioned. Otherwise, anyone know of an opensource solution that could do this? *Steve Dainard * IT Infrastructure Manager Miovision <http://miovision.com/> | *Rethink Traffic* 519-513-2407 ex.250 877-646-8476 (toll-free) *Blog <http://miovision.com/blog> | **LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/miovision-technologies> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/miovision> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/miovision> * ------------------------------ Miovision Technologies Inc. | 148 Manitou Drive, Suite 101, Kitchener, ON, Canada | N2C 1L3 This e-mail may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
