Backup to S3

[s0lar]

Anybody using any tooling that will backup a folder to S3 on my mac? Something with sync, so I can set and forget. Am happy with a UI, script or ..

Personally, I use this: https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html

It's a lot more affordable than S3, S3 isn't designed for backups.

No idea what you're on about, I use Dropbox

EDIT: Ah I see @Thor posted while I was typing, he also backups into the sky

I use the CLI for multiple Windows machines but it is available for Mac.

Installing or updating to the latest version of the AWS CLI - AWS Command Line Interface

Instructions to install or update the AWS CLI on your system.

When backing up to S3, make sure you have you lifecycle policies set up.
I generally transition to Glacier after 14 days to save costs and then expire after however many days you want.

Duplicati 2 Can back up to a range of cloud storage providers including S3 compatible
Rclone might work if you are looking for scripted file sync.

+ 1, trialed this when I was learning about AWS some time back.

For a better solution that you can use on multiple computers, use Backblaze B2 with Cloudberry (MSP360) - costs me about R10 /month for +- 250GB
