You could run a post-scrpit on your localhost-host to create a link "current"
that links to the latest backup, set the option to have filled backups and then
sync that "/var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/current" to S3.
Or use a dedicated partition to untar a weekly tar generated from backuppc to
get the current representation and upload that.
But actually if I where you (and we are thinking about S3 too), I wouldn't
upload any un-encrypted data to amazon. Especially if its information about
other people or if its information that is important.
Have fun,
