Usage

Setting Up S3 Backups to Run Automatically Using Cron

PostgreSQL

Add the following to the file /etc/cron.d/postgres_to_s3 and then change the command arguments so the command is using your correct AWS credentials, backup bucket and the correct base S3 Key/base folder.

0 */1 * * * postgres /usr/local/bin/postgres_to_s3.py --AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' --S3_KEY_NAME='postgres/my-awesome-server' --backup --archive

Redis

Add the following to the file /etc/cron.d/redis_to_s3 and then change the command arguments so the command is using your correct AWS credentials, backup bucket and the correct base S3 Key/base folder.

0 */1 * * * root redis_to_s3.py --AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' --S3_KEY_NAME='redis/my-awesome-server' --backup --archive

MySQL

Add the following to the file /etc/cron.d/mysql_to_s3 and then change the command arguments so the command is using your correct AWS credentials, backup bucket and the correct base S3 Key/base folder.

0 */1 * * * root mysql_to_s3.py --AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' --S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' --S3_KEY_NAME='redis/my-awesome-server' --backup --archive

Manually Running Backups and Archiving

When running the archive command, S3 Backups moves backups into a year/month sub folder (technically a S3 key) for archives it’s scheduled to keep and removes all other archives. S3 Backups, will use the default schedule unless you you tell it to use a different schedule with the --schedule_module argument.

The default archive schedule will …

• keep all archives for 7 days

• keep midnight backups for every other day for 30 days

• keep the first day of the month forever

• remove all other files that aren’t scheduled to be kept

To backup PostgreSQL, run the following:

$ postgres_to_s3.py \
--AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' \
--S3_KEY_NAME='postgres/my-awesome-server' \
--backup

To archive PostgreSQL backups, run the following:

$ postgres_to_s3.py \
--AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \

--S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' \
--S3_KEY_NAME='postgres/my-awesome-server' \
--archive

To backup Redis, run the following:

$ redis_to_s3.py \
--AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \

--S3_KEY_NAME='redis/my-awesome-server' --backup

To archive Redis, run the following:

$ redis_to_s3.py \
--AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \

--S3_KEY_NAME='redis/my-awesome-server' --archive

To backup MySQL, run the following:

$ mysql_to_s3.py \
--AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--S3_BUCKET_NAME='my-backup-bucket' \
--S3_KEY_NAME='redis/my-awesome-server' --backup

To archive MySQL, run the following:

$ mysql_to_s3.py \
