First public beta of Amazon S3 Backup is out.
What is done
- Authentification and password protection for your credentials (encrypted with Blowfish)
- Streaming uploads, downloads and deletion of files and folders in your S3 buckets
- Backup jobs
- Specify source and target folders and it just works
- You can specify filemasks to exclude some files and folders from the backup (for ex.
.svn;*.pyc) - Uploads only files modified since last run (this is known as differential backup). Modified files are detected with SmartHash (more info on this later)
- Database of file hashes is stored inside S3 bucket, so you can backup from multiple locations to the same destination folder. This is useful if you need to backup the same set of files from your work and home. Once I'll complement it with 'Sync down' S3 Backup will become a perfect tool to synchronize multiple machines. Look forward to it.
- Unicode support
- Instant feedback
Features I'll add later
- Encryption
- Scheduling
- Bandwidth throttle
- Differential downloads (to keep multiple computers in sync)
- Storage fees calculator
- Mac OS X and Linux versions (this is realistic, because this app uses wxWidgets)
- and more
