S3Sync.net

Hi, setting up an automated backup for my linux box using s3sync. It works quite well  :) but i see some, in my opinion, strange things.. When i have done a backup and then rerun the backup script with just a couple of files changed, it still re-transfers all the data in my directories again with one exeption: the directory containing my html files. From the latter it only transmits the changed files in a rsync kind of style. As I like to have this to happen all the files in the filesystem i was wondering how to achieve this..

any answers very welcome..

for starters, giving the exact command line your are running would probably help in diagnosis.

there you are:

this is the content of the script I use...

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/s3sync/
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export SSL_CERT_DIR=/usr/local/s3sync/certs
ruby s3sync.rb -r --ssl -v --delete /home/backup/remote/ spip:/

Can you reproduce this issue with a small set of dirs/files, and then archive them up and attach that here so I can test it on my system?  It sounds like this might be some kind of obscure comparator bug.  If so, that will be hard to diagnose remotely.

Ok, i have created a directory with a smaller set of files. With this set of files s3sync performed flaweless.
I then just have deleted all the already uploaded files on S3, deleted the bucket, recreated the bucket, sync my original set of files and now it works as a charm.. I guess due to ???? the file info of the orginal bucket was corrupted or what. Anyway, it works now perfectly.. and thanks for your help.

ok then, now you can claim it is self-healing software, another required buzzword checkoff ;-).
