#MAC CLIENT FOR S3 UPDATE#
The idea here is to just sync changed files and to avoid the long time it takes to update every single file. Like deploying my Octopress blog to s3, I ended up using s3cmd to sync files from a local directory to a specific s3 bucket.
But I ended up running into enough error messages that I got nervous.
#MAC CLIENT FOR S3 INSTALL#
I got it to install using MacPorts and after a few fixes, it seemed to be working. Technically, you’ll need to install and use FUSE and s3fs. The most obvious would be to mount an S3 as a local disk drive and run rsync. Well, there are a couple options for setting up s3 syncing. So, you wanna backup your iPhoto library to S3?

S3 storage enables you to store a lot of data, reduce costs for usage, provide good performance and pay-as-you-go. Apparantly Dropbox is using as their backend storage too. Many CMSs provide integration with S3 as a file storage system, as does Drupal.Ī number of websites use S3 to host their larger files like images and videos.

At the time of writing, I’m already using S3 to host my personal blog, which I migrated to Octopress recently. I think the price of $10/month for 60GB of storage is quite reasonable and that’s probably enough space for me to also store the big stuff like photos and some videos.īefore going with Dropbox, I wanted to explore Amazon’s S3 option.
I don’t really like Box or Google Drive as much, since both seemed less reliable and buggy, but perhaps that’s just me. It’s also a great way to work with large files with a team.

In this post, I’d like to talk about an exploratory attempt at backing up my iPhoto Library to S3. Once you get to a lot of data though, you’re going to have pay something. Others require a bit of an evaluation of price vs. Some are both the best in terms of ease of use and in terms of price (i.e. I’ve been on a bit of an obcessive exploration of new storage options for my data.
