Install AWS CLI on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install awscli
AWS Credentials
To configure AWS Credentials
$ aws configure
Then you can check ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config to see the content.
Credentials file
$ cat ~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Config file
$ cat ~/.aws/config
[default]
output = json
region = eu-central-1
Backup files
First, we need to create a folder and within add two files
Got to the root
$ cd
Create a new folders bin and logs
$ mkdir bin logs
Add a new file to backup the database to S3
$ vi bin/db-backups.sh
And add the content
backup_name=~/db_backups-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M`
mongodump --host localhost --port 27017 --authenticationDatabase admin -u ADMIN_USER -p YOUR_PASSWORD --out $backup_name
tar czf $backup_name.tar.gz $backup_name
aws s3 cp $backup_name.tar.gz s3://YOUR_PATH_HERE
rm -rf $backup_name
rm $backup_name.tar.gz
The second file needs to upload the logs to S3
$ vi bin/log-backup.sh
Add the content
root_folder=/home/ubuntu
backup_name=~/log_backups-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M`
tar czf $backup_name.tar.gz $root_folder/logs
aws s3 cp $backup_name.tar.gz s3://YOUR_PATH_HERE
for f in $root_folder/logs/*.log; do :> $f; done
rm $backup_name.tar.gz
The last step add the following script in crontab
$ crontab -e
At the end of the file add
0 0 * * * /bin/bash ~/bin/db-backups.sh >> ~/logs/db_backups.log 2>&1
0 0 * * * /bin/bash ~/bin/log-backup.sh >> ~/logs/log_backup.log 2>&1
