Advania S3 Account

[chris]

This ticket is to track the time spent answering Andrew's questions regarding the Advania S3 account which is used for backups by Crin3.

I have just check the backup emails and everything appears to be working OK, I'm now manually mounting the S3QL storage to check it is all OK, I'll post an update here when all the backup space has bene mounted, currently the Crin1 space is being mounted:

Starting fsck of s3c://s.qstack.advania.com:443/crin1/
Using cached metadata.
Remote metadata is outdated.
Checking DB integrity...

Oh dear, when running the fsck on the crin1 bucket:

Uncaught top-level exception:

Just got that error again:

The issues with the Crin1 backup have finally been resolved, the backups of all three servers have been mounted OK and space wise we are using:

Filesystem                             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

s3c://s.qstack.advania.com:443/crin1/  1.0T  206G  819G  21% /media/s3ql/crin1
s3c://s.qstack.advania.com:443/crin2/  1.0T   67G  958G   7% /media/s3ql/crin2
s3c://s.qstack.advania.com:443/crin4/  1.0T   15G 1010G   2% /media/s3ql/crin4

So, 206+67+15=288 -- 288G in total.

I could take some time to delete old backups and / or automate the deletion of old backups.

I can't find where the Advania S3 prices are.

I have also edited the root crontab on Crin3 so the backups run at these times:

# m h  dom mon dow   command
00 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/s3ql_backup crin4
01 00 * * * /usr/local/bin/s3ql_backup crin2 
03 00 * * * /usr/local/bin/s3ql_backup crin1
