I see several threads about how people are cloning their Venti
servers to remote Venti servers as a means of creating a backup.
Reading over the man pages, I assume it's also possible to do
something like use rdarena to dump an arena out, encrypt it, and
put the encrypted arena into a remote service like Amazon S3.
On my Mac OS X machine I use something called Arq that can
store the data in Amazon Glacier, which is an ideal fit for true
"disaster scenario" backups (vs. day-to-day backups you might
need to access on some regular frequency).
However, I see some emails warning about using rdarena/wrarena
versus simply copying a fossil, so I'm wondering if there are issues
I'm not picking up from my reading of the man pages. I can also
see there are various threads complaining about the stability of
venti+fossil, but then there are others saying it's stable and works
great.
Jim
