Restore Deleted S3 Objects

Simple PHP script to restore S3 objects on the command line

To use:

1. Edit restore.php to enter your bucket name and region, prefix is optional.
2. Run composer install
3. Run php restore.php

A few notes:

• This script works by deleting Delete Markers so you'll need to have enabled Versioning on your S3 bucket. If you haven't then this won't be able to help you, sorry.
• You'll need PHP and Composer installed. Composer will install everything else
• Ensure ListBucketVersions is present in your AWS IAM Policy
• This will restore 1,000 objects each time it is run. If you have more than that then just keep running it until there are no more to restore. Alternatively modify the script to keep looping until there are no more delete markers. If you do modify this please send a pull request for issue #2

restore-deleted-s3-objects's Issues

Enable parameters to be passed on the command line

No real need for this, might be helpful though

Keep restoring objects until they're all back

Currently you can only restore 1,000 objects so if you need to restore more then you have to rerun the script multiple times which is a bit of a pain.

Fix this by rerunning the restore function until it can restore no more.

Write some tests

It's such a simple script it doesn't really need many but if it gets more complex a refactor into a testable class (and some test obviously) would be worthwhile.
