How to fix amazon sync issue?

Question

linux

there is a sh script written that makes a backup of the database and uploads it to amazon.

#!/bin/bash
#get the day of week as a number (i.e. 1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday)
#backup 'my_database' to the folder /var/local/backups/mysql/
#$DAY_OF_WEEK is appendend to the file's name in order to keep a weekly history of the backups
mysqldump -u root -p3uUtcLLm online-tour > /var/local/online-tour-back1.sql
#use aws (Amazon's tool) to sync your backups to Amazon S3
#/usr/local/bin/aws - absolute path to Amazon's CLI tool
#s3 - the service we want to use
#sync - the command to run
#/var/local/backups/mysql/ - local folder
#s3://my-backups/mysql/ - Amazon s3 folder
aws s3 sync /var/local s3://apstay2017/Databases/

my crontab

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
33 *    * * *   root    /bin/bash /var/autobackup.sh
#

The problem is that the backup is made but it is not uploaded to Amazon.
What did I go wrong?

Answer 1

It seems to me that the problem may be that the path to the aws utility is not quite correctly specified in your script.
