Step: 8. Finally Create AMI Auto Backup Script :

# vi /backups/scripts/aws-ami-backup.sh

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/ec2/apitools/bin

# Please use env | grep EC2_HOME to find out your system’s setting
EC2_HOME=/usr/local/ec2/apitools

# Please use env | grep JAVA_HOME to find out your system’s setting
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
date=`date +%d-%m-%Y_%H-%M-%S`
export EC2_HOME JAVA_HOME
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=Provide your Access Key Id
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=Provide your Secret Access Key

# Regions reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html
region=”ap-southeast-1″

# You can find your instance ID at AWS Manage Console
instanceID=”i-c706e305″

# Your prefer AMI Name prefix
amiNamePrefix=”SOUMYA-SOUMYATEST-AMI_$date”

# Your prefer AMI Description

amiDescription=”Daily AMI backup”

# If you want to keep 7 days AMI backups, please set routine true otherwise set it false
routine=true

if [ $routine = true ]; then
    # Setup AMI Name
    amiName=$amiNamePrefix

    # Get AMI ID
    amiIDs=$(ec2-describe-images –region $region | grep ‘ami-[a-z0-9]’ | grep “$amiName” |cut -f 2)

    # Get Snapshot ID
    if [[ ! -z $amiIDs ]]; then
        snapshotIDs=$(ec2-describe-snapshots –region $region | grep $amiIDs | cut -f 2)
    fi
else
    # Setup AMI Name
    amiName=$amiNamePrefix

    # Get AMI ID
    amiIDs=$(ec2-describe-images –region $region | grep ‘ami-[a-z0-9]’ | cut -f 2)

    # Get Snapshot ID
    if [[ ! -z $amiIDs ]]; then
        snapshotIDs=$(ec2-describe-snapshots –region $region | cut -f 2)
    fi
fi

if [[ ! -z $amiIDs ]]; then
    # Deregister AMI
    for amiID in $amiIDs
    do
        ec2-deregister –region $region $amiID
    done

    # Delete snapshot
    for snapshotID in $snapshotIDs
    do
        ec2-delete-snapshot –region $region $snapshotID
    done
fi

# Create AMI
ec2-create-image $instanceID –region $region –name “$amiName” -d “$amiDescription” –no-reboot > /tmp/AMIBackup.txt

# Name Tag
amiid=`cat /tmp/AMIBackup.txt | cut -f2`
ec2addtag $amiid –tag Name=$amiName –region $region

— Save & Quit (:wq)

# chmod 755 /backups/scripts/aws-ami-backup.sh

Step: 9. Schedule in Crontab :

# crontab -e

0 0 * * * /backups/scripts/aws-ami-backup.sh
