How would you backup s3 stored data?
If I am using s3 as a saas for my app, storing image data for example, how do I create a backup of my s3 bucket? If for any reason I delete my s3 bucket will all my data be lost?
- paulgb 18y agos3sync (s3sync.net) and s3cmd (s3tools.org) both let you copy files recursively from s3, so you could use those in a cron job to make a backup on a non-s3 server.
- oscardelben 18y agoThank you, I'll try out those two.
- paulgb 18y agoI should mention that if you can get s3cmd to do what you want, it's probably the best choice. s3sync has an odd way of storing folders that makes it hard to use with Elastic MapReduce if you ever want to. I mention it because it may interfere with other software, too. Otherwise, it is a fine piece of software.
- oscardelben 18y agoOk, I'll keep it in mind
