Gem to backup your database from Heroku to S3. This fork use Fog and works with the Cedar stack.
-
Add this to your Gemfile
gem 'heroku_s3_backup', :git => 'git://github.com/ZenCocoon/heroku_s3_backup.git'
-
Add your S3 config to Heroku
heroku config:add S3_KEY="YOUR_ID" S3_SECRET="YOUR_KEY"
-
Run the HerokuS3Backup.backup method from your console or a cronjob
task :cron => :environment do HerokuS3Backup.backup(:name => YOUR_APP_NAME) end
You won’t need Cedar stack so better check other forks.
The blog post at trevorturk.com/2010/04/14/automated-heroku-backups/ has some more detailed instructions.
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
