PUK Backup

disaster recovery service for "Parkinson's and me" data

What?

• A simple service that archives database snapshots from the "Parkinson's and me" database to Amazon S3
• Downloads the latest database snapshot early every morning and archives it to S3
• Runs on an Amazon EC2 instance (t2.nano)

Why?

Provides a last line of defence for data loss incase we ever lose the data stored in heroku backups

How it works

• the bootstrap.sh script is run when the instance first boots
• the backup.sh script is run on a cron job every morning at 2.10
