Off Site / Remote Back up to Amazon S3

Posted on October 16, 2013

I have a couple of VPS with DO but am conscious that should anything happen to them I would like my data backed up.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where to start with backups to S3 from a DO VPS?

I use S3 / Glacier for my local backups so it would make sense to continue using them. Thanks.

Hey guys,

We’ve been working on a solution for this specific need while keeping things super simple and quick to setup. You can in a few clicks create your backups and store them on Amazon S3 (or other cloud solutions).

We have a free plan which works great if you don’t need to backup too many websites.

Try rsync, duplicity or headless DropBox.

I personally use Duplicity to back up to S3: <br> <br><a href=“https://blog.kamalnasser.net/post/duplicity-amazon-s3-backups/”>https://blog.kamalnasser.net/post/duplicity-amazon-s3-backups/</a> <br> <br>I believe you can configure it to upload to Glacier too.
