Set Up an Offsite Backup for LAVA Data

Registered by Andy Doan

We need to create a mechanism to back up the data used by the validation server to an offsite location like Amazon S3. This serves two purposes:

1) make an easier mechanism for Linaro approved developers to test with real data
2) add another layer of redundancy to validation lab

The database itself is relatively small (<1GB). The media files are larger, but they can also take advantage of an incremental backup approach.

NOTE: This needs some research and a clear plan. ie - is S3 really the best approach or would something like Google Drive be better since we already have Google apps.
