This will require updates to the scripts.

Hi Mate,

I have created a pull request for this one. The .dll file has been split and now needs to call two files. There are no other changes required.

Hi there,

I'm a bit confused on how the tags work. The original article had two scritps, one for daily (no reboot) and one for weekly (shut down, then snapshot). The new setup only shows the daily script.

Also, for lines 10 and 11:

$BACKUP_TYPE = "Daily" $backupTag = "xxxxxxxx" #Make sure the value of this Tag is 'Yes', without the quotes, on the instances you want backed up What should the value of 'xxxxxxxx' be within the script, and what should the actual tag on the EC2 instance actually look like? Key=Backup Value=Yes ? Thanks for the help.

Thank you,

Hi Dan,

To change the script from daily to weekly you would need to call the weekly backup method instead of the daily. I am unsure why the weekly script has been removed but I only require a daily backup for my environment so it has not been a concern for me. I could possibly look into updating the weekly script as well but that will be something I'd have to do later when I have more free time. I'm sure the changes are fairly minimal.

That's correct, Any instances you want to back up should have a new tag applied to them, you can call the tag whatever you like as long as the value is "Yes".

Then all you need to do is have the correct tag name in the script so that $backupTag = "".

Thanks,

Adam.
