Thanks for putting together such a great tool! In setting up this tool at my company for occasional backups I had a few questions that I didn't find explicitly noted anywhere.

  1. If I specify a variable, like journal, in the config file, can that variable be overridden if I specify a different journal name on the command line?
  2. Is there a way to pause/stop an upload then pick it up where I left off at a later time?

  1. yes of course command line overrides config and it was always so. I have unit tests for this to ensure it works that way and always will be. but unfortunately I forgot to document that. Now fixed in README 7336eef.
  2. try Ctrl-S / Ctlr-Q in linux. This suspend processes. I think I tested it and it was working. However amazon upload ids are valid for 24hours. Also I think if you unfreeze the process current uploading will break and mtglacier will re-upload part (just one part for each worker (--concurrency), not one file). Also there was a feature request to allow continue uploading Recovery on failure in the middle of an upload/download #62 of a file after process exit. Also, of course, if you upload large set of files, and terminate process, it will continue from same place, at maximum yo'll loose time of uploading one file or several files (one for each worker).
