Backup Monkey released

[Peter Sankauskas]

Hi,

Just a quick note to let you know I have released the first version of Backup Monkey to the public:

https://github.com/Answers4AWS/backup-monkey

It is a script that runs through your EBS volumes, and makes sure there is a snapshot of it. It then keeps a specified number of snapshots around for history, and removed older ones. It is designed to be run on a schedule, say once a day by cron for example.

I am very interested in feedback. There are plenty of ways to expand on this, and I am curious to see how others want to use it.

Kind regards,

Peter Sankauskas
