 to setup the [kubernetes dashboard](./dashboard/README.md) as a next step.

+## Spaces
+
+We are storing our images in the s3-compatible [DigitalOcean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/). 
+
+We still want to take backups of our images in case something happens to the images in the cloud. See these [instructions](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/resources/s3cmd-usage/) about getting set up with `s3cmd` to take a copy of all images in a `Spaces` namespace, ie `human-connection-uploads`.
+
+After configuring `s3cmd` with your credentials, etc. I was able to make a backup with this command.
+
+```sh
+s3cmg get --recursive s3://human-connection-uploads --skip-existing
+```
