I am attempting to build a backup script that moves a tar file from our hosted solution to our S3 bucket: mysitebackups. The problem that I’m running into is this: We cannot install any programs in on the server, and all the solutions I have found require various libraries and programs to be installed. The ideal solution, so far, seems to be duplicity, but this requires installation, as well as boto to be installed.
Is there a solution that requires no localized installation, or is there a way to get these to install locally without using virtualenv (which I don’t have access to)?
We found an answer to this. There is a Perl script that seems to work very well. It uses core libraries for perl, so it should work for you.
