S3 storage backup destination

Open ananiasfilho opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Send backups to a S3 Storage bucket like AWS S3, MinIO, Wasabi

ISSUE TYPE
  • Feature Idea
ENVIRONMENT VERSION
  • Zmbackup Version: Any
  • Zimbra Version: Any
  • Linux Distribution & Version: Any
SUMMARY

As many zimbra users need send backup files to a external storage, S3 solutions are good and cheap options. The idea is: Make backup of each account and send each file to a S3 bucket - Important running in parallel. We can discuss it better if you accept this feature request.

A better idea might be a generic Remote Storage Backup Bestination by taking the code from rclone to connect remote storage ...

IMHO we need a integrated solution. rclone is good but not integrated with ZmBackup procedures and will be more one service/software on Zimbra. When i proposed this, i was thinking on: if i have 2TB backup, i dont need have 2TB FREE on my server to store backup and dont run backup store remote (slow procedure - NFS, SMBFS/CIFS, etc). The idea is: run 10-20GB backup of account/email and when finish this account, send to a S3 bucket, then start new one and delete this old. Today we need on our environmento, more than 6TB free space to make backups and its not good since, after make backup, i need send 6TB to a remote storage, then delete it on local storage. Make it directly sync to S3 bucket, i can create a list and restore it from S3 bucket. Lets discuss!

I agree with you, in fact I didn't write "using rclone" but "taking the code from rclone"

backup of account/email and when finish this account, send to a S3 bucket, then start new one and delete this old

very interesting ...
