This is a python script that creates a cloudformation stack to backup all ebs volumes in an aws account.
instructions
Clone this repo locally. From the base folder, run python ebsser.py. After the script completes a lambda scheduled event must be created to trigger the backup. Learn more about Scheduled Events Here
Note: As of December 2015, a Lambda Scheduled Event cannot be created via the api or a cloudformation template. When Amazon adds the ability to do so, this tool will be updated.
Requirements:
- local machine with python2.7 and boto3 library
