s3-backup-vesta

One-line script that takes daily backup weekly and uploads it to S3. We create a role and user with minimum allowed actions(only one) and we manage backups Lifecycle on AWS side.

2. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#users create user and attach policy. Also, save Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
3. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home and create "some.yourserver.com" bucket.
