Right. The files are named using the SHA1 hash of their contents (to enable de-duplication) and small files are packed together (to dramatically improve performance). I thought that was the best solution given the limits of the S3 API. JungleDisk does something similar I think.
What sort of alternative for restoring would you be interested in? Maybe an open-source command-line utility?
- zacharypinter 17y agoA command-line utility is always a big plus for those who like scripting. Maybe a FUSE script/app/plugin?
- sreitshamer 17y agoI posted an open-source command-line utility on github for restoring (downloading) Arq backups from your S3 account: http://sreitshamer.github.com/arq_restore/ http://sreitshamer.github.com/arq_restore/
- grourk 17y agoCheck out Quillen for snapshot backups directly to S3. Simple command-line interface, easy for scripting. Also open source. http://quillen.googlecode.com/ http://quillen.googlecode.com/
