Restoring from Amazon s3

I've had to rebuild a server after a hard drive failure and have all the backups for the accounts on my aws s3 storage. How can these be easily restored? Do have have to download them one by one from s3 to my pc, then upload to the new server, then restore? Or is there an easy way to get them from s3 to the server for restoration?

  Hello :) You can find the steps for restoring backups from a remote destination on the following document: Remote Restoration Thank you.

  You must manually transfer the backup files from the remote location to your server. However, after you transfer the backup files to the server, WHM's Backup Restoration feature (Home >> Backups >> Backup Restoration) handles the actual restoration.
  This was the part I was hoping to avoid. That's a lot of manual moves.

  The backup files will have to be moved from S3 to your server, but you don't have to download them to your PC first, then upload. You can use a tool like s3cmd ([url=http://s3tools.org/s3cmd]Amazon S3 Tools: Command Line S3 Client and S3 Backup for Windows, Linux: s3cmd, s3express) to copy directly from S3 to your server. AWS CLI ([url=http://aws.amazon.com/cli/]AWS Command Line Interface) can probably do the same. That would be my preference, except I haven't tried using it on a cpanel server yet. (s3cmd I know works).
