We have a trivial implementation that does a full backup and prepends the date/time stamp to the backed up filename. We call it from crontab to run once a day with the following: java -jar s3backup.jar /etc/iptables-save /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf ... You just list out which files you wanted backed up, and then they show up in your bucket as: yyyyMMddHHmmssZ-filename Code is here: http://3banana.com/pics/S3Backup.java http://3banana.com/pics/S3Backup.java You need Amazon's Java S3 libary which you can snag from here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=132 http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?ex... If you want to toss it into a JAR and simplify startup use the following META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: IntelliJ IDEA Main-Class: com.threebanana.S3Backup
