How to Use Amazon S3 to Backup Server Data

To get started, download and install the AWS CLI from the official AWS documentation onto your server.
Once installed, open your terminal and run the aws configure command to input your AWS access key, secret key, default region, and output format.

Next, create a new S3 bucket using the aws s3api create-bucket command. Replace your-bucket-name with a unique name for your new bucket. You can then use the aws s3 cp command to upload files or directories from your server to the S3 bucket. For example, you can run aws s3 cp /path/to/file s3://bucket-name/ to upload a single file.

Finally, use aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name/path/in/bucket/ to ensure that the files have been successfully uploaded. Make sure the backup process is running smoothly and that your data is being securely stored.
