You’ve been tasked with implementing an automated data backup solution for your application servers that run on
Amazon EC2 with Amazon EBS volumes. You want to use a distributed data store for your backups to avoid single points
of failure and to increase the durability of the data. Daily backups should be retained for 30 days so that you can restore
data within an hour. How can you implement this through a script that a scheduling daemon runs daily on the application
servers?

    C
