title: How to copy SQL log shipping files to AWS EC2 instance
body: <p>I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and would like to log ship from my local data center SQL instance to a log shipping target SQL Server running in AWS EC2.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to copy the log ship files from the local SQL Server to the remote EC2 instance?</p>
  
  <p>I have seen plenty of 'how to copy a file to EC2' solutions, but am wondering what is the best method for <strong>continuous unattended file copying</strong> (such as SQL Server T-Log files every 15 minutes).</p>
