Mac Client For Amazon Glacier Average ratng: 8,5/10 8219 votes
Amazons solution for backup and archival is called Amazon Glacier. If you are looking for a way to take your backup to the cloud, Amazon Glacier is by far the cheapest service to use. Teradata client tools. For this guide I will use only free software.
I have been using an incremental cloud backup for years, and have been looking for alternatives. I recently discovered Amazon Glacier. I have a EE background, so my programming skills are not that strong and more related to embedded systems (I also can knock out quick scripts using Python if I need to).
If anyone here has programmed an S3 frontend or similar, how big of an undertaking would it be to write a client that encrypts my data locally and upload using the RESTful APIs? After this I would need a way to throttle downloads due to Amazon's download pricing.
I am paranoid to use 3rd party apps and thought this may be a good experience to improve my programming skills.

AllExperiencesPros- Why would anyone use glacier for consumer needs, when Google Drive provides almost the same price without any additional complexities? Glacier 1TB is $7 (and that's in the cheapest data center), Google Drive's 1TB is $10.

They are not willing to listen to Linux community. They've also deleted a bunch of messages from Linux users on their forum See More
See More
Not being able to easily back up office works through an integrated office suite can be a set back when comparing to backup apps like Drive.

ConsSpecs Linux, Windows and Mac. See More
Mega has a higher than normal chance of having legal troubles due its founders past, thus there's a higher than normal chance that the service may be shut down with all your files in it and no way to retrieve them. See More

If you use Office 365 with OneDrive, you can share a file to edit collaboratively in real time. See More

Google as of yet has a client for Linux, leaving many who use the service forced to use third party apps or the webpage. See More
This space is shared across Drive, Gmail & Picasa. See More
Data privacy is widely known as one of Google's weaknesses. Data shared through Google is most likely matched up with the user's profile inside other Alphabet inc. subsidiaries, and, due to the business model, used commercially. See More
For example, you can use search to search through both Drive and Gmail. See More
They can create derivative works, they can perform it, they can modify it, and they can publish it at will. There are many other specific rights they take over your product. Read the Terms carefully and compare with ANY others. See More

Cons Acronis is available for: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Facebook See More
Capabilities, features, and GUI, are less robust on the Mac version. See More
https://kb.acronis.com/content/48668 See More
Acronis expects most users to restore from local copies. Cloud restoration capabilities is far from robust. One has to navigate a file tree to download files in small batches because larger downloads (talking anything more than a few GBs) times out. Major PITA. See More
Has a variety of bugs that can make the software almost unusable. Very slow, frequently hangs, and has been known to freeze the computer. Can make your data inaccessible and offers unhelpful error messages with no further instructions. See More

ConsSpecs You can use Dropbox via website, by installing a desktop client that creates a folder that you simply drag and drop files into, or with their mobile app. Everything synchronizes across all devices used and cloud storage. And Dropbox offers easy methods of sharing whatever is within it. See More
There is just too little of free space available comparing to the competition. See More
Dropbox is available on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows, OS X and Linux. By having a client for so many OS's pretty much anyone is covered no matter what kind of device or OS they are using. See More
They don't apply end-to-end encryption, files are visible to admins, governments, etc. See More
Whether using desktop client or web interface, simply right click on the file you want to share and select Dropbox > Share link, then send the link to the people you want to share the file with. The recipient does not require a Dropbox account. See More
See More
Using a desktop client: right click on the folder you want to share and select Dropbox > Share This Folder, then enter the e-mail addressees of people you want to share the folder with. See More
Extensive collecting and distribution of user data to commercial third parties. See More
If a small portion of the file is changed it sends/receives only the differences (not the whole file), which is fast and bandwidth-efficient. See More
Recently dropbox decreased the number of linked devices to 3, so you can't have more than 3 linked devices. This is problematic if you use Dropbox to sync between your computers. See More
There are official and third-party Dropbox add-ons that extend the functionality of the service and add ease of use of existing features. Additionally, Dropbox can be integrated with existing applications to bring its functionality to other apps. See More
See More
Dropbox keeps deleted and earlier versions of files for a month. See More
For instance, all photo albums got deleted. It used to be very easy to share a couple og photos, now it's PAINFUL and must be done file by file. See More
See More
Uploading generated contents (cache, compiled code, etc.) is prone to conflicts, wastes bandwidth and free space. See More
Dropbox personal accounts start out free, with 2GB of space, but users can get extra space by recommending the site to friends, or taking part in events like 'Dropquest', where users can win extra space by solving puzzles. See More

Your files always synced online means instant disaster recovery. When your hard drive becomes unbootable, pick up another laptop and just carry on with your life from where you last saved. See More
This summer I lost thousands of files due to this problem on older projects which subsequently needed revising and had to be rebuilt as tons of the source was gone. See More

CrashPlan's home edition will be shut down on October 23, 2018. They are no longer accepting new signups or subscription renewals. See More
You can set up different files/folders to back up to specific places. See More

CrashPlan updates only that part of the file that has changed, saving bandwidth and time. See More
The BackupClient is based on Java and therefore a lot more memory-intensive than most other backup solutions See More

Cons This is very helpful to remotely update one or more devices or ensure all settings are the same on devices when managing multiple device backups on the same account. See More
They offer same-day responses when emailed feature requests but take days and days and non-helpful responses when inquired on issues. See More
This enables updating the installed version on remote devices. See More
While not having an automated version upgrade doesn't enable unattended backup (particularly desired for remote devices or for non-techy users), these options exist: The web UI admin console has an option to update the version. When a new version exists, an 'Upgrade' button appears on the client UI. See More
The progress indicator can show total bytes backed up and remaining, and the file that's being backed up. See More
While testing it by editing a file, the app missed it for many hours. However, it usually found the file a many runs later/the next day and backed it up. This flakiness is enough to be concerned. See More
See More
When including OS-specific directories in the backup, it regularly freezes on a file, and never the same file. It's possible to cancel the backup, run it again, and it almost always works. Support said not to backup OS directories, and this is true for other backup products too; CrashPlan did not have this issue. See More
It's one of the few options with subscription plans for unlimited devices and tiered backup quotas, and not a ridiculous price. See More
It's necessary to regularly check if it's working because it can lock-up on some files, or continually say 'verifying files'. It's a flakey product. See More
