Automate Backup & Disaster Recovery with AWS S3 + Bash Scripts

In this hands-on lab, we build a complete automated backup and disaster recovery solution using Amazon S3, AWS CLI, and Bash scripting — simulating a real enterprise scenario for Company Cloud Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 🔧 What we do in this video: 1. Organize company data into departmental subfolders (HR, Finance, Projects, Assets) with sample files 2. Create an Amazon S3 bucket for centralized cloud storage 3. Upload company data to S3 using the AWS CLI 4. Write a backup.sh Bash script to automate the backup process 5. Modify/add files locally and sync changes to S3 6. Simulate accidental data loss by deleting the local CompanyData folder 7. Write a restore.sh Bash script to recover data from S3 8. Run the restore script and verify all files are recovered 9. Validate the entire backup + restore workflow 📚 What you'll learn: ✔ Creating and managing folders/files in Linux ✔ Using AWS CLI to back up and restore data from Amazon S3 ✔ Automating backup & recovery with Bash scripts ✔ Core concepts of cloud backup, data sync, and disaster recovery 📝 Note (Nano Editor): While editing scripts in the nano editor, to save and exit: Ctrl + X → Y → Enter 🧹 Cleanup — Delete these resources after the lab to avoid charges: EC2 Instance Key Pair Launch Wizard Security Group S3 Bucket (empty it first, then delete) IAM User Close the MobaXterm session Thank you
