Wait, do I understand this correctly: You sync your dropbox to S3? Do you overwrite your previous daily when you do so?

- g-garron 14y agoYes I do it, I have the weekly and monthly. And yes, I might have daily-monday / daily/tuesday.... and so on, and it would work better, but this way works for me. There is a lot of room for improvement, and it is not hard to implement with cron-jobs and more buckets.
- narsil 14y agoYou could try adding objects with the date in their names to a 'backup' bucket rather than create separate buckets for each backup. S3 also supports object expiration, so you can set your daily backups to expire after 7 days and weekly backups to expire after 4 weeks, for example.
- DeepDuh 14y agoDo you know about worst case analysis? Let's say your data loss occurs on the Sunday, 31th of a month at 23:55 and then gets synched across all your S3 backups (or it could occur at some point before that but you don't notice it). And poof goes your data.
- tedunangst 14y agoTHIS. I'd say at least half of the time I went to retrieve a good revision of a file from backup, it was already too late and the backup was trash as well.
