- pmjordan 16y agoAs far as I can tell, Tarsnap is only for archives, it doesn't give you random-access, mountable-as-a-filesystem style convenience. For backups, Tarsnap is definitely the correct architecture, for syncing, not so much.
- cperciva 16y agoCorrect. Theoretically the Tarsnap client-server protocol could be used to synthesize a mountable filesystem, but that would add hard latency requirements -- one of the great advantages of Tarsnap's transactional archive-creation is that it can tolerate high latency and even requests failing with little impact.
