Excessive bandwidth using S3 backup feature
I have a ReadyNAS 316 (6.9.3) and have been using the built-in S3 backup utility for three of the shares on the NAS. These shares total 3TB of data, and all of that data is being successfully replica...
I checked with our Cloud service dev and it looks like he was able to get the information needed from Olicuk's extra details. There was some additional testing that we were checking for the calls/intervals in this case.
The calls are smaller in smaller datasets, but are significantly greater with larger data sets. When running a sync check every 30 seconds with data/capacity this size the return information is in the 100s of KB. We are looking into a configurable option so you are able to select the interval in the services that are more bandwidth aware.
Let me verify with the team a possible work around for the interval option. There are some cases where there is a setting that gets overwritten.
Thank you OOM-9 . So the NAS does a sync check every 30 secs, that's some workload? I guess the 70GB/mo equates to about 2.4GB/day or 100Mb/hour... or 1.65Mb/min.... so that's potentially two checks returning 800Kb each? For my needs a sync check every 30 mins, or even 2 hours would suffice, and even once per 24h would be ok. It would reduce bandwidth and request costs to almost certainly stay within the free tier..... unless I ever need to pull down the data archived. Though I also have a concern over what happens if I increase my S3 storage usage from the current 500GB, to archive all 3.6TB of data on my NAS. What would happen to the calls then as it sounds like they almost increase in size exponentially?
This has got me looking far more at the full costs of cloud storage and the various options on the ReadyNAS, about which I'll create a separate thread.
