I am looking for inexpensive off-site storage that is compatible with backuppc.
 
Is anyone using backuppc to backup files to Amazon S3? I have googled for some articles on this topic, and all I have found are old ones. It seems
1. S3 does not "allow" hard links and use of rsync. There is a s3sync option, but I haven't looked a it.
2. Using an EC2 front end running backuppc might work, and then storing to s3. Haven't found any backuppc articles about this.
 
Any other suggestions for inexpensive off-site storage using backuppc?
 
Thanks!
 
Mark
