Simple and lightweight script, that provides command line interface for Amazon Glacier. Now supports creation and deletion of vaults, uploading and downloading folders, . Script creates .zip archive from folder and upload it to vault. ##Configuration First of all you should set parameters of vault and backup. Standart config file on first start looks like that:
AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
vault-name|eu-central-1
path_to_folder_for_backup1 | path_to_folder_for_backup2
First two lines are Amazon access key ID and secret key. Then write name of vault and region. Divide them by '|'. After that write paths to folders, that you want to backup. You can write as many paths, as you wish. Divide them by '|'. Next line stores inventory retrieval job id (if it was started).
Next data block is inventory block. After retrieving inventory it stores inventory size and all archives descriptions in format:
name | id | size
Next data block stores retrieveng jobs descriptions, if you initialize downloading from inventory. All subsequent lines are job descriptions in format:
retrieved archive name | job id
Сonfiguration file must always has name "config.f"
##Installation
At first downlad all files to one folder. If you want to setup auto-backup every week, then run setup_backup.sh.
This script requires boto, so setup_backup.sh will automatically install it, if it was not previously installed.
Also it will write itself to cron.
Then script will start for first time and create vault. Logs will be written to backup.log file.
