I want to move my EBS snapshot into my S3 bucket, but after researching a lot i didn't find the way.
Is there any possible way to do it.
Amazon EBS Snapshots use Amazon S3 for storage, but they cannot be moved into your own Amazon S3 bucket.

I want to copy my folder/object from one s3 bucket to other. How can I possible to copy?
You cam use the aws s3 sync cli command:
aws s3 sync s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-SOURCE s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-TARGET
See the documentation here : S3 CLI Documentation

I see that AWS DocumentDB is creating automatic snapshots daily and I myself can create manual snapshots from AWS Console. The documentation says that the snapshot is saved in S3 but it is not visible on S3 to me.
I basically want to move the DocumentDB data to S3 in order to propagate it further to other AWS services for monitoring purposes. I was thinking if I can trigger a manual snapshot daily and have a lambda trigger on S3 file upload by DocumentDB.
How can I see the automatic and manual snapshot created by DocumentDB on S3?
Backups in Amazon DocumentDB are stored in service-managed S3 buckets and thus there is no way to access the backups directly.
Two options here are:
1/use mongodump/mongoexport on a schedule: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/backup_restore-dump_restore_import_export_data.html
2/use change streams to incrementally write to S3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/change_streams.html
I would like to backup a snapshot of my Amazon Redshift cluster into Amazon Glacier.
I don't see a way to do that using the API of either Redshift or Glacier. I also don't see a way to export a Redshift snapshot to a custom S3 bucket so that I can write a script to move the files into Glacier.
Any suggestion on how I should accomplish this?
There is no function in Amazon Redshift to export data directly to Amazon Glacier.
Amazon Redshift snapshots, while stored in Amazon S3, are only accessible via the Amazon Redshift console for restoring data back to Redshift. The snapshots are not accessible for any other purpose (eg moving to Amazon Glacier).
The closest option for moving data from Redshift to Glacier would be to use the Redshift UNLOAD command to export data to files in Amazon S3, and then to lifecycle the data from S3 into Glacier.
Alternatively, simply keep the data in Redshift snapshots. Backup storage beyond the provisioned storage size of your cluster and backups stored after your cluster is terminated are billed at standard Amazon S3 rates. This has the benefit of being easily loadable back into a Redshift cluster. While you'd be paying slightly more for storage (compared to Glacier), the real cost saving is in the convenience of quickly restoring the data in future.
Any use case to take a backup as Redshift automatically keeps snapshots. Here is a reference link
I want to do a daily backup for s3 buckets. I was wondering if anyone knew what was best practice?
I was thinking of using a lambda function to copy contents from one s3 bucket to another as the s3 bucket is updated. But that won't mitigate against an s3 failure. How do I copy contents from one s3 bucket to another Amazon service like Glacier using lamda? What's the best practice here for backing up s3 buckets?
NOTE: I want to do a backup not archive (where content is deleted afterward)
Look into S3 cross-region replication to keep a backup copy of everything in another S3 bucket in another region. Note that you can even have the destination bucket be in a different AWS Account, so that it is safe even if your primary S3 account is hacked.
Note that a combination of Cross Region Replication and S3 Object Versioning (which is required for replication) will allow you to keep old versions of your files available even if they are deleted from the source bucket.
Then look into S3 lifecycle management to transition objects to Glacier to save storage costs.
I want to keep a backup of an AWS s3 bucket. If I use Glacier, it will archive the files from the bucket and moved to the Glacier but it will also delete the files from s3. I don't want to delete the files from s3. One option is to try with EBS volume. You can mount the AWS s3 bucket with s3fs and copy it to the EBS volume. Another way is do an rsync of the existing bucket to a new bucket which will act as a clone. Is there any other way ?
What you are looking for is cross-region replication:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-cross-region-replication-for-amazon-s3/
setup versioning and setup the replication.
on the target bucket you could setup a policy to archive to Glacier (or you could just use the bucket as a backup as is).
(this will only work between 2 regions, i.e. buckets cannot be in the same region)
If you want your data to be present in both primary and backup locations then this is more of a data replication use case.
Consider using AWS Lambda which is an event driven compute service.
You can write a simple piece of code to copy the data wherever you want. This will execute every time there is a change in S3 bucket.
