Let's say I've got S3 versioning enabled for my bucket: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Versioning.html
Then, let's say someone (for example, junior employee) messes up the S3 bucket (deletes some files accidentally, etc.)
How can I then restore the entire versioned bucket to a particular point in time? I believe this should be possible given S3's API, but I'd rather not have to write such a script myself, for fear of missing something (I'm not an AWS expert).
Are there are good solution to this problem? I'm using the S3 bucket as an image store for my Rails app, so something Ruby-based that I could use as a rake task would be ideal.
