Big initial upload
Hi tarsnap folks,
I'm considering tarsnap for our backups. I am mildly concerned about our
Internet uplink speed to get the data to tarsnap on a nightly basis, but
I am much more concerned about that same uplink for initially getting
all of the data uploaded. I've trawled through the mailing list archives
a bit (is there a way to search them?) and looked at FAQs etc but I'm
not sure exactly how I would handle it.
The numbers are in the order of 1TB of data over Australian ADSL at a
maximum of 1 megabit per second uplink. By my reckoning, that might
finish in 36 hours, but is more likely to be double that.
Is there a supported way to seed our backups with say an encoded file or
files on a USB drive? If not, is it being considered for the future?
Greg.
