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? 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

I have a website I've created in Visual Studio 2008 and I need to take it live. How can I backup the database file to a .bak so I can hand it over to the hosting company to place on the server?

I use mysqldump with MySQL 5.0 and I back it up every day, but do not understand the method that only stored procedure backs up. How can I back it up? I'm not sure whether you're asking to back up stored procedures as well as everything else, or just the stored procedures on their own... Stored procedured in dump with everything else: mysqldump -R <dbname> #or mysqldump --routines <dbname> Just the stored procedures: mysqldump -n -t -d -R <dbname> #or mysqldump --no-create-db --no-create-info --no-data --routines <dbname> Does that help? You can also put routines=true in the [mysqldump]

In our development environment we have long been using a particular backup and restore script for each of our products through various SQL Server versions and different environment configurations with no issues. Recently we have upgraded to SQL Server 2012 as our standard development server with SQL Compatibility Level 2005 (90) to maintain support with legacy systems. Now we find that on one particular dev's machine we get the following error when attempting to backup the database: Cannot use the backup file 'D:\MyDB.bak' because it was originally formatted with sector size 512 and is now on

I'm currently using mySQLdump to backup my dev machine and servers. There is one project I just started, however, that has a HUUUUUGE database that I don't really need backed up, and i'll be a big problem to add it to the rest of the backup cycle. I'm currently doing this: "c:\Program Files\mysql\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqldump" -u root -pxxxxxx --all-databases > g:\backups\MySQL\mysqlbackup.sql Is it possible to somehow specify "except this database(s)"? I wouldn't like to have to specify the list of DBs manually, since that would mean that I'd have to remember updating my backup batch file

i created backups of my git repository like in How to backup a local Git repository? proposed with git bundle create /tmp/foo-all --all I can see all refs are in there, including a remote ref created by git-svn. Now I can't figure out how to restore this bundle to a local repository again. I am quite quite sure i've done it already once. I tried git-clone but that gives me a just a repository with my backup bundle as remote repo. I also tried git init git bundle unbundle /tmp/foo --all but this just lists all references...
