We use Amazon S3 for data backup for all of our servers. Each individual server gets its own bucket in S3. Actually, it gets two (-backups and -chunks). Apparently there is a limit to the number of buckets you're allowed to have in S3.
So now the last server I added can't be backed up. Greaaat.
I'm in the process of merging a few junk server backups into a single pair of buckets to see how it works. If it works well, I'm just going to merge *all* of the servers into a single pair of buckets. I don't like it, but I'm not sure I have much of a choice. I don't want to stop using S3 for backup (super cheap, easy, and reliable).
