#S3Archive
A simple application that takes a list of folders and uploads them to S3, optionally ignoring open files, deleting and recursive searching.
Runs as a console application with a single XML file for config. Designed for cloud servers with small local storage but a regulatory requirement to keep logs. Run as a scheduled task to collect into an S3 bucket and interrogate your logs centrally.
NB: This application uploads data to S3, make sure you are aware of the cost implications and manage your own data retention policies.
##Download binary
Extract to a folder somewhere and follow instructions.
##Instructions
Run the file S3Archive.exe once, this will create a default config file and exit. Modify the xml file to include one folder element for each path you wish to send to S3.
