Provisioned volume to S3 bucket/Local computer

Question

Hi,
I have a data volume(non-root) attached to an instance. I want **entire provisioned volume** in my S3 bucket/Local computer .
I am aware of the sync command in CLI but that only gives me data objects present in volume.

Kindly share if I can try some way.

Answer

1. Mount a 2nd volume of larger size
2. Unmount but do not detach the original volume
3. Use the 'dd' command to read the /dev/sdX (where X is whichever letter that drive is assigned as) out to a file on the new drive
4. Copy that file to S3 / local machine
5. Once on your local machine, you can mount that file using the loopback mechanism as a drive.
https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/upt/ch44_07.htm goes in to it in some more detail. However I'm not sure _why_ you would want to do this absent exotic scenarios.
