It is not a good fit for direct access media. Uploading could be 
accomplished, since large files can be uploaded in chunks, but retrieval 
times for large files are given as 3 to 5 hours and the latency, even 
for uploads, is indeterminate and likely quite long. It would likely 
cause timeouts with Bacula. It might be a very reasonable service for 
storing copies of Bacula volumes off site, but not for direct use by 
Bacula as storage media. Their S3 service would be a better fit for use 
as Bacula storage media.
