Using Rsnapshot with S3QL

[Antoine Colombier]

Hi community,

First of all, I would like to thank to everyone contributing to S3QL, I must say that my experience has been extremely pleasing till now!

My use-case at the moment implies data backup - I am trying to move away form block devices and go toward object storage (using OpenStack/Swift)

However, my current backup setup uses RSnapshot, and I was wondering what was the recommendation with S3QL? Would it be able to make the most of data deduplication with Rsnapshot file structure? Should I replace the various file manipulation command (cmd_cp, cmd_rm) to use the S3QL command (s3qlcp, s3qlrm)?

Any experience feedback will be appreciated! :)

Thanks to everyone reading this,

Antoine
