The 3-2-1 backup rule is pretty outdated in the world of cloud. You could have 3 complete copies of your data in different S3 buckets, but if they're all under the same account you've lost your blast radius protection
- rsync 5mo agoIf only there were a quick and easy way to replicate s3 buckets to an independent provider… … on the Unix command line … … to a cloud older than AWS… … if only …
- eclipticplane 5mo agoI don't think that technology exists. Sorry.
- oefrha 5mo agoWell having backups help, but I certainly can’t migrate my infra to rsync.net on moments’ notice (or ever since rsync.net does storage and nothing else) so my customers aren’t affected.
- funtech 5mo agoWish I could upvote this comment account more. Too many people look for something new and shiny when trusty ol tools are sitting right there. :)
- lemagedurage 5mo agoInflated egress costs might make this prohibitively expensive, $80 per TB at GCP and AWS
- whalesalad 5mo agoYou replicate data to different clouds.
- zootboy 5mo agoIt's not outdated, you just actually need to follow it. 3 copies of data in separate S3 buckets is ignoring the "2" in the 3-2-1 rule: 2 different mediums, and also the "1" rule: 1 copy offsite. In the cloud era, offsite means not on the same cloud provider. Different mediums ideally means a non-cloud provider (e.g. a NAS at your office under your control).
- sammy2255 4mo agoIt certainly is outdated, by that very example you just provied. Why can't my two backups be on two separate S3 providers?
