Locally backup S3 buckets

[pgtaboada]

Hi,

I would like to backup a S3 bucket to a local storage using attic.
What would be the best approach?

See this issue with borg (fork of attic):
borgbackup/borg#102

[pgtaboada]

that is exactly the wrong direction. I want to backup my bucket locally, and not backup my local files to the s3 bucket...

I see.

Can you mount s3 on a aws virtual machine? If so, you could install borg and then send it to your local machine. If not, it sounds like the same problem in the ticket referenced above--borg would need to run on the remote side.

You would want to mount your S3 storage via FUSE and then use this as the source of your backup.
