Welcome to S3Sync.net
This is a community site for developers and users of the free and open source s3sync.rb and s3cmd.rb tools, which are interfaces to the Amazon S3 system.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT S3SYNC IS NO LONGER BEING DEVELOPED**
I have started using Tarsnap for my backups. It's a tool that can do much better than my best vision for s3sync ever was. The only thing it "lacks" by comparison is the ability to easily map a local tree to S3 paths for easy web serving from S3. But since personally I don't use that feature of s3sync anyway, the motivation for me to rewrite the tools has pretty much evaporated. |
Due to spam, I turned off registration in the forum, too. If you need to contact me about s3sync, you can find my info in the README file below. |
Discussion Forum
This site provides a free forum to ask questions, discuss features, and report bugs. Please use this new forum instead of the old S3 forum thread.
