  • Cloud
This application backs up every folder mounted at `/data/` to a given AWS S3 path using the `aws s3 sync` command. It requires a pair of (IAM) Access and Secret Keys. You can supply the usual s3 sync parameters such as `--delete` and everything else. The cron schedule defines how often the sync command is executed, and it uses a lockfile to avoid parallel executions.

Common questions

How do I choose which local folders are backed up?

Mount the local folders you want to protect under /data in the container. s3sync backs up folders mounted there to the S3 path.

Which environment variables does s3sync need for AWS S3?

Set ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY, REGION, and S3PATH. You can also set S3SYNCPARAMS for extra aws s3 sync parameters.

Will --delete remove files outside the synced folders?

If S3PATH points to a prefix and S3SYNCPARAMS includes --delete, the prefix is deleted and only the synced folders and files remain inside that prefix.

Is there an Unraid package?

s3sync is listed in Unraid Community Applications. Search for s3sync in CA to install it.

Why does it fail for a US bucket with uppercase or unusual characters?

For a US bucket with uppercase or unusual characters, set AWS_CALLING_FORMAT to REGULAR. That value is the default.
