Tableau Backup to S3

backup.py

#This was written Python 2.7, not tested for Python 3
#The original version of this script lived in the Tableau Server directory
#That's why newpath adds on 9.1\bin (the second \ is so Python reads it as a slash and not a character escape
#If you have tabadmin on your path, you can comment out lines 13 & 15
#tinys3 is an easy way to handle S3 activity - https://github.com/smore-inc/tinys3
import tinys3
#os give you access to operating system interfaces

#glob finds patterns

path = os.getcwd()
#print path
newpath = path+'\9.1\\bin'
#print newpath

#create an S3 connection

#find TSBAK File and push
for file in glob.glob('*.tsbak'):
    f = open(file,'rb')
    #Syntax for conn.upload = (filename, f, bucket)
    conn.upload('backup',f,'tableauctdbackup')
    #you can also add TLS with conn.upload('backup',f,'tableauctdbackup',tls=TRUE)
    #change the endpoint with conn.upload('backup',f,'tableauctdbackup',endpoint=s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com)
    #this would be if you want to replicate files across regions or Availability zones
    #expire the file conn.upload('my_awesome_key.zip',f,bucket='sample_bucket',expires=3600)
