initial configuration

For the backup system to work you must create several definitions and resources

  • an S3 bucket in which the backup data can be stored before being moved offline
  • SSM definitions which direct the backup system to the correct folder in the correct S3 backup for storing backups
  • at least two public keys that will be used for encrypting the backups
  • IAM definitions giving appropriate permissions to appropriate actors

Adding a new Public Key

New public keys are generated by the key holders following the Instructuctions for Key Holders.

In the backups S3 bucket, in the config folder you must place the key named as <key_name>.pub. You must ensure you remove any outdated keys.
