[AusNOG] Anyone know how to... Cloud Storage

[Anand Kumria]

Basically it doesn't exist (yet).

SparkleShare is the closest candidate but it will replicate all the
externall stored data (although with a shallow clone, you might be able to
get what you are after). But you might want to keep an eye on git-annex.
