Intro: I have VPS (with Debian) and some websites that hosted on it. Sites are not very large (~10-20 GB totally) but I need to make periodic backups of all user data.

Problem: I'm looking for simple solutions that allows to backup all this stuff to Amazon Glacier, and meet some conditions:

  1. Easy to configure (because I'm newbie in server administration)
  2. Amazon Glacier support
  3. Debian support
  4. Backup all files (entirely /home directory)
  5. Incremental weekly backups

I've found some solutions like http://www.bacula.org/en/ but they aren't so easy to manage.

Could you give advice for my case or recommend good tools for such backups?

  • what have you tried so far? how did the expected output differ from the actual output? you might read the [faq] on how to ask which question. – umläute Jul 23 '13 at 15:51
  • I've searched a lot, but can't find really simple solution. There are very feature-rich such a [Bacula](http://www.bacula.org/en/), but I actually don't need RAID support, GUI etc. I'm looking for tool that just can backup to Glacier whole VPS (/home directory i mean). – Pavel Melnik Jul 25 '13 at 10:08

You can try the following:

  1. Use duplicity to backup to local filesystem (and implement weekly, incremental backups).
  2. Use this client https://github.com/vsespb/mt-aws-glacier for incremental backups of duplicity output into Amazon Glacier.

The closest I could find is duplicity but I'm not sure if it is ready for Glacier. Hopefully the following blog post might provide additional information:

  • Thx, but dublicity currently doesn't support Glacier. I think about hybrid approach: perform backups to local filesystem and upload it to Glacier using smth like [backthat](https://github.com/tsileo/bakthat). But there is a question how to upload only changes (for incremental backups) – Pavel Melnik Jul 26 '13 at 10:30

This is an old question, but just for the record I developed a tool to periodic send data to AWS Glacier, you can check it at:

If you have any suggestion or found a problem please fill free to open an issue or send a PR. =)
