Get Started

This is a quick-start guide to using Safe Offsite Backups. (Actually, this is the full guide: it's just fundamentally quick to use.)


1. In your AWS account, Generate a new IAM User

Create a new user.

2. Attach the AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess Policy

Attach the read-only policy. You may optionally restrict this to just buckets you want backed up.

3. Generate Access Key

Select "Application running outside AWS".

4. In your Safe Offsite Backups account, create a new Backup Configuration


That's It!

We will now sync this bucket every hour and store snapshots for 7 days.

Sit back and enjoy the peace of mind!
