Non-S3 targets

Can I use Litestream to backup to a non-S3 target?

I get it that by focusing on a single type of target Litestream is simpler, easier to maintain and easier to use right.

But today I was wondering what would it take to store backups to disk (e.g. network attached disk) or to another SQLite database (i.e. use SQLite itself to store blobs instead of a filesystem).

It would certainly feel very meta if there was an S3-compatible object store backed by SQLite :)

you can replicate your database to an sftp server https://litestream.io/guides/sftp/ not just S3 object servers.

You're right! And at a closer look, writing to a path in disk is possible too:

• Project description should maybe be changed from S3 to blob #205 (comment)
• https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/blob/main/file/replica_client.go
