Cloud Backup and Restore Program using Java and AWS S3

This Java program allows you to recursively traverse a local directory, create backups to AWS S3, and restore data from S3 to a local directory while preserving the original directory structure.

Prerequisites

• You need to have an AWS account with access to an S3 bucket for storing backup data.
• Make sure you have the AWS SDK for Java installed and configured on your machine with proper credentials.

Usage

Backup Operation

To create a backup to AWS S3:

java -jar CloudBackupRestore.jar backup local-directory-name bucket-name::directory-name

• local-directory-name: The path to the local directory you want to back up.
• bucket-name::directory-name: The target bucket and directory path in the format
• bucket-name::directory-name. If the bucket doesn't exist, it will be created.

Restore Operation

To restore data from AWS S3:

java -jar CloudBackupRestore.jar restore bucket-name::directory-name local-directory-name

• bucket-name::directory-name: The name of the bucket and directory you want to restore from.
• local-directory-name: The path to the local directory where you want to restore the data.

Notes

• This program utilizes the AWS SDK for Java to interact with AWS services.
• During backup, the original directory structure is maintained in the S3 bucket.
• During restore, the original directory structure is recreated in the local directory.
