[BLU/Officers] [SPAM] [SPAM] Re: New backup script

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

There's not enough space on pegasus to store the backups locally,
nor is there space on vranix for this.

I can set up an ACL on the bucket  at Amazon S3, but I can only add
other S3 user accounts to the ACL, so everyone who needs access
should register for an S3 account.

    http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Click on the "Sign Up For Amazon S3" button, and create your account,
then send me your account id. My account id is "abreauj".

I just added the BLU website, plus related directories (cgi-bin, etc),
which get stored under, e.g., s3://blu.org/Website/daily-Sun/
Based on the size, and the number of copies the backups will create,
I estimate this will cost us about 75 cents per month.
