# EbsPruneSnapshot
Manage your EBS snapshots on a daily, weekly, and monthly rotation schedule.
Features
- Keep at least one snapshot of each volume, regardless of the rotation schedule.
- Saves the youngest snapshot of a particular day as a daily snapshot.
- Saves the oldest snapshot of any week as a weekly snapshot (Sundays).
- Saves the oldest snapshot of any 4 week period as a monthly snapshot (Sunday).
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ebs_prune_snapshot'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ebs_prune_snapshot
## Usage
AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Access Key are required. These options can be
provided through the command line or they may be stored in the environmental
variables of AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Any options
provided through the command line will override the environmental variables.
A daily, weekly, and monthly rotation are also required. The monthly rotation
is every 4 weeks, so provide 13 to go back a full year.
If you only want to see what would happen if you ran the schedule, then pass
the --dry-run (-n) argument.
