Using S3cmd in Windows
I have long been familiar with the s3cmd utility, but I always used it only under Linux systems. The fact that it can be used under Windows, I did not even think.
Why not? It is implemented in python, which means it is completely cross-platform. You just need to install Python on your Windows machine.
So:
- Step one - Install Python .
- Download the installation package version 2.x (3.x is not supported) from here
- Run the installation. By default, the installation will be in the folder c: \ Python2.x
- Add a Python entry to System Variables -> Path:
- Checking that Python is available from cmd
C:\Users\Oleksandr_Molchanov>python Python 2.6 (r26:66721, Oct 2 2008, 11:06:43) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
- Step Two - Install and configure S3cmd .
- Download the utility from here and unpack it, for example, in C: \ s3cmd
- We will configure authorization.
c:\s3cmd>python s3cmd --configure Enter new values or accept defaults in brackets with Enter. Refer to user manual for detailed description of all options. Access key and Secret key are your identifiers for Amazon S3 Access Key : ###################### Secret Key : ###################### Encryption password is used to protect your files from reading by unauthorized persons while in transfer to S3 Encryption password: Path to GPG program [None]: When using secure HTTPS protocol all communication with Amazon S3 servers is protected from 3rd party eavesdropping. This method is slower than plain HTTP and can't be used if you're behind a proxy Use HTTPS protocol [No]: On some networks all internet access must go through a HTTP proxy. Try setting it here if you can't conect to S3 directly HTTP Proxy server name: New settings: Access Key: ####################### Secret Key: ###################### Encryption password: Path to GPG program: None Use HTTPS protocol: False HTTP Proxy server name: HTTP Proxy server port: 0 Test access with supplied credentials? [Y/n] Y Please wait, attempting to list all buckets... Success. Your access key and secret key worked fine :-) Now verifying that encryption works... Not configured. Never mind. Save settings? [y/N] y Configuration saved to 'C:\Users\Oleksandr_Molchanov\Application Data\s3cmd.ini' - We check the work
c:\s3cmd>python s3cmd mb s3://molchanov Bucket 's3://molchanov/' created c:\s3cmd>python s3cmd ls 2013-05-27 12:39 s3://molchanov
Setup was pretty simple and quick.
Now you can wrap this acquired functionality in a bat-script, which will, for example, archive the necessary data and neatly add to S3.
An example of a simple script:
"C: \ Program Files \ 7-Zip \ 7z.exe" a -t7z d: \% date% .7zip d: \ data1
python C: \ s3cmd \ s3cmd put D: \% date% .7zip s3: // molchanov /
python C: \ s3cmd \ s3cmd put D: \% date% .7zip s3: // molchanov /
Calling this or a similar script can be added to the task scheduler and thus backing up the data.
