How to use

AWS user permissions

You need to create a AWS user with permissions for your desired vault, if you plan on leaving your AWS CLI with these credentials, I would suggest only adding the upload permission as some may be potentially abused by someone.

Configure the CLI using the ID and secret keys from the user http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html

Configure script

At the top of the file there is a variable "vault" to choose which vault to upload to, default is "vacuum".

Upload

The script takes one argument, the file. All other options such as the archive description and whether to encrypt interactive.

[~/repos/MarvelousChris]$ ./vacuum.sh vacuum
Archive description (optional): Vacuum backup script
Encrypt with GPG? y/N: y

Potential todos

1. Handle more than one file
2. Multipart upload (to save space when processing)
