# EbsPruneSnapshot Manage your EBS snapshots on a daily, weekly, and monthly rotation schedule. Features - Keep at least one snapshot of each volume, regardless of the rotation schedule. - Saves the youngest snapshot of a particular day as a daily snapshot. - Saves the oldest snapshot of any week as a weekly snapshot (Sundays). - Saves the oldest snapshot of any 4 week period as a monthly snapshot (Sunday). Take a look at ebs_snapshot to take the snapshots if you need LVM/XFS filesystem freezing and/or MySQL locks. (https://github.com/dusty/ebs_snapshot) ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: gem 'ebs_prune_snapshot' And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install ebs_prune_snapshot ## Usage AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Access Key are required. These options can be provided through the command line or they may be stored in the environmental variables of AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Any options provided through the command line will override the environmental variables. A daily, weekly, and monthly rotation are also required. The monthly rotation is every 4 weeks, so provide 13 to go back a full year. If you only want to see what would happen if you ran the schedule, then pass the --dry-run (-n) argument.
