How to Backup your Solus to S3

This guide will show you how to back up, and restore, your important data to Amazon S3 fully encrypted.

Install deja-dup

Install deja-dup from the Software Center

S3 however won't be a storage location option by default.
To enable it we need Boto
boto isn't in the Software center yet, to install it
  git clone git://github.com/boto/boto.git
  cd boto
  sudo python setup.py install

  • we should check to see if boto3 works as well, since it’s replacing boto.
