About:
consul-backinator is a command-line utility designed to create and restore backups of Consul's key-value store. It allows for easy snapshotting of configuration data, ensuring that critical state can be recovered in case of data loss or corruption. The tool supports storing backups in various locations, including local filesystems and remote storage services like AWS S3.

Key Features:

Creates atomic snapshots of Consul KV data
Supports restoring from existing backup files
Integrates with cloud storage providers (e.g., S3) for backup archival
Simple CLI interface for easy automation

Use Cases:

Disaster recovery planning for Consul clusters
Migrating Consul KV data between different environments
Creating regular automated backups of Consul configuration

Alternatives:

consul snapshot – Native Consul command for state snapshots; consul-backinator offers more flexibility in storage backends and is a standalone tool.
etcdctl – Tool for etcd; not applicable for Consul but serves a similar purpose for a different distributed store.
