Rclone is great. I wrote an integration to use it with git-annex (https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone).
Some of the supported providers (e.g. Amazon Cloud Drive) have a reputation for days-long service outages. Some users of Amazon Cloud Drive have even reported files going missing on occasion.
But the great thing with git-annex is you can have your data on multiple clouds (in addition to being on your own equipment), so partial or complete loss of a cloud provider does not need to result in availability or durability issues.
- rsync 10y agoDoes the git-annex integration run over SSH ? I'm trying to find a recipe for Rclone to connect to rsync.net since it won't work over the usual path (rsync over SSH) ... but we do support git-annex so ... Rclone+gitannex, over SSH, to rsync.net ? Want a free account to try it ?
- DanielDent 10y agoI'd be happy to give it a try. I suspect rclone is the wrong tool for the job, but I haven't looked closely at the rsync.net service.
- weitzj 10y agoThat sounds interesting. I just set up my unlimited Amazon Cloud Drive account and hoped they were using S3 behind the scenes?
- DanielDent 10y agoIt does seem to use S3 behind the scenes based on URLs I've seen. The data loss incidents I've seen reported have tended to be after outages. Amazon Cloud Drive seems to keep an index mapping amazon cloud drive filenames to S3 objects, I suspect the index entry was corrupted/lost/rolled back. While the object likely still existed in S3 somewhere, that doesn't do much if users don't any way of accessing it.
