Amazon CloudDrive: not the fact that you can download back
Hello,
For my home archive (photos, videos, old projects) with a volume of about 5 + Tb, I was looking for cloud backup solutions.
Since I am a programmer, I have relevant requirements.
')
Researched a lot, in fact, all that is on the market top, 10-15 products. In reality, two solutions fell under my requirements:
About a year used CrashPlan. Now tried to go to Amazon CloudDrive.
You might be interested in first-hand comparisons and impressions before I get to the most interesting.
CrashPlan:
Of course, I talked to the support, I looked at the JVM parameters (it’s in Java), but in the end this is the picture. In general, it works, and at a price of ok, but not perfect, yes.
Amazon CloudDrive, on the other hand, came up with a lot more:
Familiar admin recommended. I like it.
The problem came out later when I decided to try to download files from it. Two archives did not swing (and still does not swing, error 500).
The support slowly responds to requests, currently the correspondence with him has been going on for about a month now. Actually, I'm waiting, waiting, and then I ask - do I need anything else? I am politely asked to try again, which I do.
Of course, I sent all data to the support, including screenshots, a HAR-archive with browser communication (all request-response sessions from their site) and the rest I could think of.
De facto, it turns out that you can not download files uploaded to Amazon CloudDrive.
At the moment, CrashPlan is still working for me, but what about Amazon, I am really surprised. It would seem that getting the downloaded files is Top Priority Bug, really TOP ... I have not encountered such a lack of reaction on any of the other cloud services I worked with.
[there should be a picture, but a cat with such a degree of daze I could not find]
Usually I do not spend my time on describing such problems, but then, perhaps, such knowledge will save someone a decent amount of time and nerves.

- Mac, Linux, in my case these are the main OS.
- Good download speed (I have fast internet).
- Presence of API is desirable.
- Reasonable rates for large archives, and better unlimited.

CrashPlan:
- The speed from me is about 2.2 Mbytes / sec (channel is about 10MBytes / sec) per CrashPlan, but if there are several installations, then it can be faster (there will be several connections).
- You can run on a Linux server and connect remotely, without having to pick up a GUI on that server.
- I constantly eat a lot of CPUs, on my archive 5Tb they give a stable 100% Pentium G2020T @ 2.50GHz (I have an HP Gen8 server).
- Eats a lot of memory, developers recommend 1Gb to 1Tb archive, I gave 6Gb.
Of course, I talked to the support, I looked at the JVM parameters (it’s in Java), but in the end this is the picture. In general, it works, and at a price of ok, but not perfect, yes.
Amazon CloudDrive, on the other hand, came up with a lot more:
- It is multithreaded, it eats up to 100% of my channel, which I wanted.
- Python API working (acd_cli), as well as the client for Mac.
- CPU / Memory eats at times less, it is reasonable for this kind of software.
- The limitation of files is something like 50GB, fatty archives have to be beaten on volumes.
