Source: Volume Snapshot

Issues EC2/EBS volume snapshot commands via the AWS API.

Module: backups.sources.snapshot

Note: This plugin is largely unmaintained. It leaves a small status file as its "dump", giving destination plugins something to process — it does not produce a restorable backup file.

Example

{
  "id": "livedb-volume",
  "type": "snapshot",
  "name": "Live DB EBS Volume",
  "instancename": "maindb1",
  "credentials": {
    "aws_access_key_id": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
    "aws_secret_access_key": "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
  }
}

Parameters

Key Required Purpose
id Yes Unique identifier for this source.
name No Description for reporting (defaults to id).
volume_id No EBS volume ID to snapshot.
availability_zone No AWS availability zone.
credentials No Object with aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key.
