Weekly backups of PostgreSQL database to Amazon S3

Weekly backups of PostgreSQL database to Amazon S3

  1. I did this as root: $ sudo su, although it may not be necessary.
  2. Download AWS command line tools: $ curl https://raw.github.com/timkay/aws/master/aws -o aws
  3. Install:
    • Automatically: $ perl --install aws
    • Manually: $ mv aws /usr/local/bin/ && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/aws
