Amazon Cloud Drive support

Hi,
it would be very nice to have native support for ACD, since it gives unlimited storage very cheap, which makes it the ideal backup solution. There isn't a solution so far on Linux for backup to ACD.

Amazon has an API for third parties. It is different from S3, but available. Several windows programs use it.

Cheers,
kelna

Maybe it's worth to take a look at the acd_cli and acd_fuse projects.

commented

acd_cli is the way to go, if anyone wonders:

I've written a backend for duplicity which uses acd_cli which you can find here:

https://entangledthought.wordpress.com/2015/11/06/duplicity-and-amazon-cloud-drive/

I'm still testing it out but feel free to give it a spin.

Thanks for the heads up. Although I use duplicati now, because duplicity couldn't finish the initial backup. If I didn't finish it in one run (and it was impossible), duplicity deleted everything from the target and started over. Duplicati doesn't have such problem, although it has other downsides like being very slow after a couple thousand files have been written to the target, but it works.

Anyways, thanks for the update, it's a nice piece of software!

Oh, zoiks! I misclicked...

@mals your solution was quite a nice starter, but unfortunately has some problems. For instance, it doesn’t upload the signature files and thus breaks incremental backups and probably also restores. I’ve put your code into a github repository and applied all necessary fixes: https://github.com/breunigs/duplicity-acdcli

Thanks Stefan! I initially wrote this for an older version of duplicity
using MultiDrive.py and quickly ported it to acd_cli without fully testing
it. But thanks for testing it out and sorting out the bugs. Hopefully we
can feed this into the duplicity code base at some point.

Now bundled with duplicity.

commented

If it is bundled, why is this issue still open? Are there any docs on how to use this?

commented

Only support through third party tool "acd_cli" is included as of now. The ticket asks for native support. I have an implementation for that, but no keys from Amazon who take their sweet time.

You can use the acdcli backend by specifying acd+acdcli://path/on/acd. Google on how to setup acdcli, it's a bit of a pain since it is not packaged by most distributions last time I checked.

A couple of weeks are gone and I have to repeat the question of @languitar why this issue is still open? Because - and this is awesome - thanks to @breunigs the current implementation of his Amazon Drive backend works like a charm without any acd_cli stuff ( https://github.com/breunigs/duplicity-amazondrive ). Even in the source code of his backend there is statet that the implementation "does not rely on externally setup software (like acd_cli)" I tested his backend with duplicity 0.7.06 and meanwhile use it in production.

Here is my Docker Container to reproduce: https://hub.docker.com/r/thomass/duplicity

This issue should be solved as with duplicity 0.8+
