I have a rpi connected to my Apple Airport Extreme, where I plugged an external USB hard drive. Today I'm running a backup service from CrashPlan to basically backup almost 2TB of photos and documents.

I was wondering if there's some way to rsync (or any other type of sync) those files to Amazon Cloud Drive, using the raspberry pi.

The reason I wish to change from CrashPlan to CloudDrive is that crashplan view of backuped files is confuse and I really don't trust them, and with Cloud Drive I would be able to access some of those bkpd files over my smartphone and computers.

So, anyone know some way to achieve this?

It depends what you mean by "Cloud Drive". I have a Debian linux t1.micro instance (virtual host) on Amazon's EC cloud. I can use rsync or unison to back files up to that just like any other *nix host. If you mean directly using Amazon's S3 storage services, you should be able to build something using Amazon's AWS CLI tools. I haven't done this yet myself.

I had a bad experience with CrashPlan as well, and only trust solutions I have full control over now.

  • Cloud Drive is a service from Amazon, it's like Dropbox, but way more cheaper and foccused on what I really need, photo storage… you can see more about Amazon Cloud Drive here: amazon.com/clouddrive/home Commented Apr 6, 2015 at 17:20
  • Not aware of a linux client for that service, much less a RPi-compatible solution. S3 might be useful instead of Cloud Drive but at 2 TB, it sounds like you want to test what they mean by "unlimited". Commented Apr 8, 2015 at 11:39
  • there isn't a official client for linux, I was hopping to see someone hacking it, and them make something like on my RPi. They have an app API, I'll probably look on it and if I find something worth coding I get back here with the solution. Commented Apr 9, 2015 at 13:43

I haven't tried this myself yet, but I found a program that's available to 32bit ARM Linux, so it should run on the Raspberry Pi as well.
