S3 Backup Script

S3 Backup Script

Script I used on servers I manage to backup data files and mysql dump to S3.

No fuss, just works.

Requirements:

AWS Command Line Interface

pip install awscli

How to use

1. Create a new s3 or use an existing one.
2. Create a new user with access key
3. Run aws configure to configure access key. This will create a file credentials in ~/.aws/
4. Copy config.example to config and edit to suit your needs
5. Configure cron job to run this script based on your backup schedule.

Folder structure

Backup files will be saved in the bucket with the following structure.

<s3-bucket-name>/
  +-- <server-hostname>/
  |   +-- data/   
  |   +-- mysql/
  +-- <server-hostname>/
      +-- data/   
      +-- mysql/
