hi there,

is it possible to restore a backup at instance creation time or to pass the backupfile and the backup-restore command via userdata?

Alternativly, could i create an own preconfigured ami from the main-ami?
What do i have to do with the ec2-sshkey setupscripts?

There is no automatic way to do this. My initial thought was to use the user data, but user data is limited to 64k or so, so an backup will not fit.

There are a couple of multiple ways to archive that:
a) create a custom script to import a backup
b) custom image with backup stored as /var/confd/var/storage/cfg
c) use basic setup with configured SSH key access and import backup via SSH script

Let me know if you need more details on any of these methods...

Cheers
Ulrich
