API question: is it possible to start exporting histories
Hi all, Is it currently possible to export histories via the API? I have one user who want to download and store her data. Total sizes of all her histories combined is about ~700GB. I think this is a typical API job: to list all her histories, start 'exporting to file' all of them, and finally download all exported histories to a disk. But looking at the current API code, I doubt whether this can be done. Hence my question. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Jacob Contact details: http://www.bits.vib.be/index.php/about/80-team
OK, I would like to see that happen too :-) I have been thinking about possible 'elegant' solutions to enable this exporting. I am very enthousiastic about Bittorrent Sync, which could perhaps be an efficient and secure way to export the histories (http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html). The Galaxy session would then show the bittorrent sync 'shared key' in the session, which the user can copy paste in their BitTorrent Sync client, after which syncing happens. Once syncing is done, connection can quit and exported directory deleted from Galaxy. One difficult thing at the client side is firewall configuration :-( Thanks, Joachim Joachim Jacob Contact details: http://www.bits.vib.be/index.php/about/80-team On 09/06/2013 05:41 PM, Jeremy Goecks wrote:
