<div dir="ltr">Hello list,<div><br></div><div>I'm toying with the idea of using Gluster as a user facing network share, and geo-replicating the data for backup purposes.</div><div><br></div><div>At a bare minimum I'd like geo-replicate to not sync file deletions immediately to the slave, but instead queue those deletions for a configurable period of time (say 7 days).</div>
<div><br></div><div>As an added bonus, moving a file would actually leave a copy behind with a data stamp suffix on the slave. I could then have a cron job cleanup old file copies. Lastly I would then expose the geo-replicated volume to users as read-only so they could retrieve old files if necessary, perhaps in a web-ui. At the end of the day I suppose I'm looking for a VSS style solution.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From some research it doesn't look like either of these solutions exist in Gluster right now, are there any plans for this type of use-case? Obviously this would cause some serious havoc if the volume was used as a VM store so it would need to be properly cautioned.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Otherwise, anyone know of an opensource solution that could do this?</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><strong>Steve Dainard </strong></span><span style="font-size:12px"></span><br>
