That is very cool. I adapted it slightly to download to Dropbox instead - using
the dropbox gem - and now I get a backup locally as well as in the cloud.
I removed the S3 lines and used the following instead: (obviously adding the
DROPBOX ENV vars to Heroku first)
d = DropBox.new(ENV["DROPBOX_USER"], ENV["DROPBOX_PWD"])
d.create("tmp/#{name}", "/#{ENV["APP_NAME"]}/cron_backup/")
Thanks for the inspiration to finally sort out backing up my app properly!
