title: How to automate image backups in Amazon EC2
body: <p>Recently I started to use Amazon web services and I am trying to backup a Virtual Machine (EC2 Instance) every X hours.</p>
  
  <p>So I found that I can create image but this is done manually. I saw that there are some third-party tools that may give me the solution but first, I would like to know if it is possible to create backups every 4 hours (automatically) in Amazon platform?</p>
