How to create a topic on cloud pub/sub?

Can you use Amazon WorkSpaces to download all of your info from social networks to create a backup in the cloud on Amazon? Or is there a better way to do this by downloading the back-up directly to the cloud in order to avoid having to download then upload again?

  • Example is downloading all of your Facebook data using an Amazon WorkSpace to keep the backup in the cloud. http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2013/11/amazon-workspaces-desktop-computing-in-the-cloud.html

  • Answer:

    For me, Amazon workspaces is a kind of overkill here, as you don't need an desktop infrastructure for this task. Just employing a regular virtual instance, which retrieves the social network data and writes them e.g. to s3/glacier should work. (However I am not aware of special software packages for this task which use AWS technology...you would have to extend other social media archiving software.)

Think FOSS or commercially supported FOSS "Free Open Source Software" Try https://www.thinkup.com/ or fire up a virtual machine and install it yourself on your own server. I've followed them for a few years and I just love the idea of being able to archive my social networking & results.
