Do you need SSH Access

No! If you don't have a server within your VPC that can access the database, you can use our Serverless Backups and we will spin up a server just for the backup. We have serverless Fargate and serverless outside of AWS depending on what you need!

Stoked that SnapShooter takes care of MySQL backups for us, I started out writing my own scripts to do it but it gets pretty complicated between dumping, uploading, rotating, verifying... would much rather use a reliable service like this than roll my own!
