New Storage Cluster - Storage Buckets

Our new storage cluster is live and being used for new backups. This object storage is S3 compatible and based on Ceph(https://ceph.io/en/). We are working on moving existing backups in the next 1-2 days.

This storage system will allow help us with the following features in the next few days.
  • Allow access to storage buckets using any tool which supports S3.  
  • Push backups to BackupSheep storage buckets. 
  • Create new buckets from the dashboard and assign storage buckets to nodes.
This storage cluster is hosted in Falkenstein, Germany with hosting partner Hetzner. It's configured in a way(Erasure Code Pools with 4-2 profile) that cluster can continue operating with the loss of multiple drives or servers.
