If the boot fits…

1000x1024mb is.

Why rclone? S3 sync the files on a schedule, enable versioning for immutability and encrypt at the bucket level.

You can always trunk 1g connections together. I picked up an old Cisco 3760G poe+ for 20 bucks at the gov surp. Port channels ahoy!

Pre-seed your backup location and then hope that your change rate is small enough to fit into 10 mb. For example, if you’re using AWS you can get a snowball to load data into S3.

ATi Rage 128 gang.

I do an s3 sync every five minutes of my important files to a versioned bucket in AWS, with S3-IA and glacier instant retrieval policies, depending on directory. This also doubles as my Dropbox replacement, and I use S3 explorer to view/sync from my phone.

Because some people want to play with the stuff they have to support at work?

Because the RHEL ecosystem is enormous and heavily used in the enterprise?

Because some people get free licenses?

Because not everybody shares your priorities?

I worked on a team where everyone but one employee was making 100k+. He was the only one who worked his way up the ranks, and he was only making 49k. I pointed out to him that his job title didn’t match everyone else on the team, as titles matched pay bands. He got more than a 100% raise when he showed our manager.

Nothing.

If you’re not a programming superstar you can probably make more money writing nothing but Terraform code for hapless enterprises.
