Usage without S3

Is there any way to use this tool to dump the backup file(s) on the local disk, instead of remote storage like S3? The --help doesn't suggest so, but I might be missing something.

No. This tool was designed to backup to a remote durable location without requiring a staging area on local disk to manipulate the files. My clusters are large enough that I don't have the space on the local RAIDs to duplicate the whisper files.

You probably just want a combination of flockit and rsync. See: graphite-project/carbonate#19

OK, I'll look into that, thanks!
