Pricing

Telnyx Storage: $0.023/GB/month — typical workspace costs pennies.

Legacy Python Script

The original backup.py using boto3 is still available if you need AWS SDK compatibility:

pip install boto3
export TELNYX_API_KEY=KEYxxxxx
python3 backup.py

Note: The CLI-based scripts (backup.sh, list.sh, restore.sh) are recommended as they require no additional dependencies and provide full backup/list/restore functionality.
