Being responsible for a small setup that does not want to afford a
symmetric internet connection, so full backups to S3 was out of question
(pool size is around 8 TB at the moment), I was confronted with this
issue, too.

In the end, I used s3ql (http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/) for a very
limited subset of the total backup. I bypassed backuppc, though, I just
rsync the relevant files to the s3ql file system using a cron job. But I
feel that backuppcs archive feature could be used as well when not using
compression (which would throw off the block de-duplication of s3ql).

I use a standard Amazon S3 object and I limit the number of backups to
the last 8 days. The total backup size is around 200 GBytes and the
monthly costs never exceeded 10$ yet. We currently have 1MBits upstream,
the s3ql backup starts at 02:00AM and I have not yet noticed that it
interfered with daily business.


With kind regards

Stefan Peter
