What do you use instead?
- conception 9y agoWe have fulls in the cloud - and the initial seed took forever but we have a big pipe that made it feasible. And then do file system diffs, checksumed with an index file. An object store would probably be a better solution for those without a giant pipe. With an aggressive HSM policy of moving data to it. But there are so many factors in terms of what sort of data you have and what you're doing with it, change rate etc. Our data is very WORSE (write once and read seldom if ever). So use tends to die off pretty quickly after 6 months or so which allows us to keep most data on near-line indefinitely.

We (rsync.net) now have multiple customers that have allocated 1+ PB of storage and are using our 10gb connections[1] for the initial sync. It's 1.2[2] cents per GB, per month but it's fully online, live, browseable storage - not a nearline/offline solution like glacier/nearline. We'd be happy to serve you ...
