将文件从 Mac (iCloud) 保存到 S3 存储桶 (AWS) 的脚本

Question

So i guess first we need to write a script to save all the files from my iCloud which I guess we would have to do an API call for that? Then backup those files onto my aws S3 bucket. Then the next question is, do I have to manually run the script or can we automate the runtime of the script to go off every hour.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you don't mind, you can use a python script to do a combination of the ff:

1. pyicloud - To interact with your iCloud services and download your files locally.

from pyicloud import PyiCloudService

api = PyiCloudService('jappleseed@apple.com', 'password')

# Some more setup if you have two-factor (or two-step) authentication

api.files.dir()

# Download the files you want locally, you can also open up a file stream if needed

2. boto3 - To interact with S3 service configured in your AWS account and upload (or backup) the files to your bucket.

import boto3

client = boto3.client(
    's3',
    aws_access_key_id=os.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    aws_secret_access_key=os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
)

# Loop over your local files to back them up to S3

response = client.upload_file(local_filename, bucket_name, s3_filename)

3. Finally, you can setup some cron job to schedule your script to run daily if you want to be the one to manage the box where it will run. An alternative here is to build a more Cloud-native solution which is to place your entire python code on a Lambda function that will be triggered by CloudWatch event which will be scheduled daily.
