Any need to make backup of data on Amazon S3?
- by Chrille
I'm hosting 200 GB of product images at S3 (this is my primary file host).
Do I need to back that data up somewhere else, or is S3 safe as it is?
I have been experimenting with mounting the S3 bucket to a EC2 instance, and then making a nightly rsync backup. The problem is that it's about 3 million files, so it takes a while to generate the different rsync needs. The backup actually takes about 3 days to complete.
Any ideas how to do this better? (if it's even necessary?)
