Backup solutions for AWS EC2 instances

Question

I'm looking for a backup solution for Amazon EC2 instances. I found this: http://www.n2ws.com and I wanted to know if there were other ones.

Thank you

PS: It's possible to automatically backup RDS databases using Amazon solution but there isn't anything for EC2 instances... Is there?

Answer 1

I've been using Skeddly for several months now to automatically backup the EBS volumes attached to my EC2 instances.

I'm really happy with it so far. I liked the way I could define which instances to backup: only instances with a specific tag are backed up. I just have to add this tag to the instances I want to back up. No need to do any change in Skeddly each time I add an instance. I had to define 2 actions in Skeddly: one to backup the instances and one to delete the old snapshots.

And I receive emails to inform me the actions (backup and expiration) have been successful or not.
