Database S3 backups

This script provides a simple all-in-one automated way to back up your databases to AWS S3.

Supported databases:

postgres
mysql
mongodb

Features

Define multiple databases of different types in your configuration, and the script will automatically handle the backup process for all of them in one execution.
Backups can be initiated either upon the script execution or on a scheduled basis using a cron job.
Backups are compressed to reduce file size.

How it works

Define database connection URI strings for each database you want backed up and the backup schedule
The script will connect to the database(s) and do a dump
The dump is compressed and uploaded to your defined AWS S3 Bucket
Finally, the dumps are cleaned up on the local file system

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

RUN_ON_STARTUP=true
CRON=0 0 * * *
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_S3_BUCKET=
AWS_S3_REGION=
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT=
DATABASES="mysql://user:password@host:port/database,postgresql://user:password@host:port/database,mongodb://user:password@host:port"
