I'd expect this to be fairly routine, but cannot find a simple approach for creating an managing EBS snapshots automatically.
Was hoping there'd be a shceduler in the AWS console.. alas not yet.
Would appreciate any suggestions as to how best to do this on from Ubuntu.
Thanks

You can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. When you automate snapshot and AMI management, it helps you to: Protect valuable data by enforcing a regular backup schedule.
To get started, you launch the AWS Management Console, and then select Lifecycle Manager under the Elastic Block Store navigation area of the Amazon EC2 dashboard. As shown in the following screenshot, you can Create Snapshot Lifecycle Policy.
Take a look at AWS missing tools and especially to https://github.com/colinbjohnson/aws-missing-tools/tree/master/ec2-automate-backup This does what you need.
