Wow, are the metadata of Tarsnap that demanding?

• cperciva 17y ago
  Tarsnap splits data into blocks of ~64 kB which are individually compressed and encrypted before being uploaded. I use S3 for back-end storage, but need to keep track of where I put each of the blocks. It's not that the metadata is demanding; it's just that there's a lot of it. For each $/month Tarsnap takes in, I have about 200,000 table entries.
