Upload missing backup to Amazon S3

I made a backup of a 400Gb account. I expected this to generate the relevant tar.gz file and, afterwards, to be uploaded to my Amazon S3 account and be deleted from the server. The result has been that the tar.gz file has been created in the server but has not been uploaded to Amazon. I ask, how can I manually make the file be uploaded? I cannot download to my computer and then upload to Amazon for it takes extremely long. Thank you!

  Hi To manually upload you need to use the below command ## s3cmd put backup.tar.gz s3://yours3bucket/ If you do not have s3cmd command installed, then you might need to manually install it using below command # yum install s3cmd and then configure it using below command # s3cmd --configure Hope this helps

  Hello, The instructions in the previous post should help. Note that it's possible a timeout issue prevented the upload during the initial backup process, as 400G is considered a very large backup archive to transfer to a remote destination. Thank you.
