Getting your Linode's Backups into a single directory tree, a volume, or off-site

Set your Linode's Backups free!

• Need to get your all of your Linode's backups out of cold storage?
• Want them in a single directory so you can search for what you are looking for?
• Want a copy of your backups in a Volume?[1]
• Want a copy of your backups off-site?[2]

Prerequisites:

• A source Linode with backups
• A disposable staging Linode, the same size as the source Linode, in the same data center as the source.
• A Linode API token with read/write access to Linodes

Here is a StackScript that will do it:

[1] Mount your volume on /backup on the destination Linode before running the script
[2] Run the script from a Linux system wherever you would like to collect the data.
