# An example of creating a data snapshots
# Steps:
# 1. Provision a new server.
# 2. Create new data volume, attach and mount it.
# 3. Rsync the indicated data over
# 4. Unmount the volume, detach it.
# 5. Save the snapshot.
# 6. Delete the volume
# 7. Terminate the server.

Usage: $Program_name [options] files/directories to copy...
Rsync the indicated files and directories to Amazon EC2 and store
in a named EBS snapshot. Snapshot will be incrementally updated
if it already exists. The Version tag will be updated.
This will use the default EC2 endpoint URL unless environment variable
EC2_URL is set.
Options:
--snapshot Snapshot name (required)
--access_key EC2 access key
--secret_key EC2 secret key
--image Server AMI ID (defaults to ami-ccf405a5, Ubuntu Maverick 32bit)
--type Server type (defaults to m1.small)
--username Username for logging into instance ("ubuntu")
--filesystem Type of filesystem to create (bfs,cramfs,ext*,minix,ntfs,vfat,msdos).
Anything with a /sbin/mkfs.* executable on the server side will work.
Defaults to ext4.
Options can be abbreviated.
