Now using Tarsnap for VM backups
Some of our ocaml.org services such as <watch.ocaml.org> involve storing user uploaded content. We need a way to make sure these are backed up in case of information loss, and to date this has been adhoc (involving rsyncing to another machine).
We now have a Tarsnap account as tarsnap@ocaml.org
, and it is first being used to store backups of the videos uploaded to the <watch.ocaml.org> service. We'll expand its use to other infrastructures that also have precious data.
Other suggestions for backup services are welcome. In general, we're looking for solutions that do not involve a lot of key management, and a reasonable amount of redundancy (but backing up across 2-3 other machines in different datacentres is probably sufficient).
