Storing large backup files on Amazon S3

Hello,

I'm currently using the latest Virtualmin GPL (3.80) to host a number of sites. All of the sites are backed up using the built-in scheduled backup feature. I then use the s3cmd program to sync these backups with Amazon S3. This has been working fine for a while now, but one of the backup files is now larger than the 5GB limit imposed by Amazon, so will not be accepted by Amazon. Is there a way to get Virtualmin to split backup files into multiple chunks? Or is this a feature in Virtualmin Pro?

Thanks in advance, Pete

Hi Pete,

Unfortunately, even the Pro version doesn't contain a mechanism for breaking the backup files into chunks now. However, someone had mentioned that not too long ago, and I do believe it's on Jamie's todo list.
