[Duplicity-talk] S3 and Large Sigtars

[Daniel Carleton]

Hello List,

I'm a grateful new duplicity user trying to do a full backup to S3.
It looks like all the data makes it up there, but the signatures end
up exceeding the max file size, resulting in:

...

WARNING 1
. Upload 
's3://s3.amazonaws.com/rieke-duplicity/duplicity-full-signatures.20100620T182934Z.sigtar.gz'
failed (attempt #5, reason: error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe)

WARNING 1
. Giving up trying to upload
s3://s3.amazonaws.com/rieke-duplicity/duplicity-full-signatures.20100620T182934Z.sigtar.gz
after 5 attempts

ERROR 23 BackendException
. BackendException: Error uploading
s3://s3.amazonaws.com/rieke-duplicity/duplicity-full-signatures.20100620T182934Z.sigtar.gz

(Our "duplicity-full-signatures.20100620T182934Z.sigtar.gz" was a bit over 5GB).

>From reading the code, I don't see anything about splitting up large
files in backends.botobackend.  Seems like this would be easy to add
-- should I go ahead or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

- Daniel
