does write only prevent overwrites?
2 comments

It does effectively, if you turn on bucket versioning.

I think write-only is worthwhile for database backups to guard against a ransomware compromise.

Good point, no it doesn't.
but i suppose if you're prefixing your entries with enough entropy, it'd be quite difficult for adversaries to predict and overwrite files without an `ls` equivalent
