Actually, there is!
A few weeks ago I submitted a patch to Nate Murray's backup gem to
provide S3 as a method for backups. A sample recipe (run on a cron
job every night) looks like this:
set :backup_path, "db_backups" # This is the name of the S3 bucket to
use (your AWS access key is appened to it for namespace)
set :aws_access, 'xxx' # These can also be set in ENV
set :aws_secret, 'xxx'
action(:content) do
dump = c[:tmp_dir] + "/databases.sql"
sh "mysqldump -u root -pxxx --all-databases > #{dump}"
dump
end
action :deliver, :method => :s3
action :rotate, :method => :via_s3
set :son_promoted_on, :fri
set :father_promoted_on, :last_fri_of_the_month
set :sons_to_keep, 7
set :fathers_to_keep, 5
set :grandfathers_to_keep, 12
