I've taken the best of both, using your script mainly, and the command line code from ec2-delete-old-snapshots, with a few other improvements, to completely automate our backups: http://www.sambastream.com/blogs/dgildeh/12-03-10/implementing-revolving-backups-aws-ec2 Hope this helps, Thanks, David Hi Alvin,
