Automating Linux EBS snapshots backup and clean-up

Question

Are there any good updated shell scripts for EBS snapshots to S3, and clean-up of older snapshots?

I looked through SO, but mostly are from 2009, referring to link that either broken or outdated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try the following shell-script, I use this to create snapshot for most of my projects and it works well.

You can give me pull-request/fork the project to add the functionality of cleaning-up the old entries. Also watch for this repo, when I find some time I will update the code to have clean-up functionality.
