Synchronization FreeNAS to Amazon S3

Details
Published: 16 August 2013
  • FreeNAS

A simple enough job: You do some backup to your CIF share on a local FreeNAS box and some of this data needs to be replicated someplace else.

What you need, or what you are willing to pay for. I my case i move around 60 Gb data to Amazon - out of 1.2 TB backup data in all. Test thoroughly how much data you actually is moving, and start with something small and simple.
