Is there a way to use AWS S3 to backup all GIT repositories?

Question

I am currently working on a project where I need to backup all our Git projects/repos. We are working with AWS, so I am wondering if S3 could be used. Can this be done? Google searches only provide half and answer and technique as to how to.

Answer 1

You can script a backup solution in any language, and then schedule the task on an EC2 instance.

The task would:

1. Clone the repo locally
2. Tar/zip the repo
3. Copy to an S3 bucket.
