Is anyone really using Hubic for server backup ?

I searched and found that using hubicfuse https://github.com/TurboGit/hubicfuse , you can mount it to your Linux system.

So is anyone really using it, if yes then how are speeds or is it really practical for that purpose.

For backups it's OK. Use the search and you'll see.

I use command line program backup function

IMHO it's not very usable with rsync, rdiff-backp or alike because of some limitations due to the underlying swift technology... afair there is more support/better usability if you intend on using duplicity.

I wouldn't use Hubic for system backups, maybe for some personal files.

it's fast, just tested it right now from a DO droplet using hubicfuse on a debian 7:

root@hf3:~# dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hubic/default/Documents/test2
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 116.445 s, 9.2 MB/s

so i guess i'll be using it for backups too.

You should find pretty much about that topic on LET and the rest of the WWW. You might look at http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/50241/my-impressions-on-hubic for example

Yep, I have servers that have CCTV Cameras FTP images every 1 Second to various servers. Hubic is running on them with 10TB of storage and uploads all the images.

Sometimes Hubic has to play catch up as there is a lot of files in a day to upload, however I'm using it for both backup and bigger storage as the servers have 500GB Drives as long as they last about 6-7 Months worth of images 10TB is a huge amount extra.
