I wonder what is the easiest way to automatically snapshot EBS volumes? I don't want to run a script - scheduling, managing access keys, etc are all too much hassle. Besides runing the script on the machine itself is unreliable - I want the setup to take one last snapshot after the instance dies.
Ideally I would right-click on an EBS volume, select "backup periodically" -> "every 10 minutes" -> retain each for three days, and then dailies for 30 days" and be done with it.
- ridruejo 14y agoYou can already do this with Bitnami Cloud Hosting http://bitnami.org/cloud http://bitnami.org/cloud (disclaimer: I work in the project)
- j2d3 14y agoYou can do this with ylastic - "scheduled tasks" - it's $25-50/mo (depending on the plan) for managing your whole AWS infrastructure and is basically an alternate WEB UI that autodiscovers your AWS footprint. Has some nice ways to manage autoscaling configurations as well, and also migrating AMIs between regions. I do not work for ylastic or anything but have used it for 2 different clients and used the "scheduled tasks" feature to do periodic backups of EBS volumes just as you've described you'd like to do.
