Thanks all for the support.

Cloudberry seems to be good and suggested to the management.

Are this tools valid for Amazon Glacier too?

I'm using CloudBerry to back up to Glacier.

Hello All,

Any one using any software to SYNC local folder to AWS S3 Bucket.

We need only one-way Sync, as the local folder files will be cleanup every week, but all the files need to be in S3 Bucket. This Sync can be schedule as 5 mins or less

Thanks in advance

Any tool that lets you mount S3 locally, the rsync to do the sync should work fine.

@scottalanmiller Thanks Scott

In CloudBerry backup there is an option to do Real-Time backup and this will execute to backup the change in every 60 sec.

This option satisfy my need as it will backup files to aws on real-time and file deleted from local will not get deleted from AWS.

Thanks All for the support.

[scottalanmiller]

Sounds like a good solution, then.

[sreekumarpg]

@scottalanmiller Yes Scott, Its a good solution if we want a Continuous Real-time Backup (CDP)

With this feature every change to the files will be captured automatically and you don't need to set up a separate schedule for the backup. The software will automatically look for new and modified files and send the copies to the cloud storage in the background.

How does that handle open files?

@Dashrender CloudBerry Backup leverages Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Technology to backup opened files

Keep in mind, if you delete the original file S3 is not a backup system, it is an archival storage system without a backup.

not entirely true. if you enable versioning on the s3 bucket a delete will not delete the file permanently. add to the bucket MFA Delete and then you'd have to issue the mfa token to even delete a file.

as you can see the bucket it empty after deleting the index.html file, but it's not, all versions still exist.

@larsen161 Agreed. You might also want to configure S3 to move the data to Glacier after xx number of days and automate the procedure. Not sure if you need access to the data after it's been backed up, but adding replication to another AZ might be worth looking into as well.
