Reading about AWS EC2 (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/), I don't get the
impression that this is some sort of backup service. It looks like a
compute service for lack of a better term.
In any case, you'd think that the customer would know what they've
signed up for, but in this case, the only thing the guy has that has any
connection to "Amazon" is his Kindle. I don't think he's running his
Kindle 24x7, and he has no clue.

A 200GB upload @ 1Mbps started every 24 hours never finishes. This
system either didn't do incremental or never finished the initial
upload to start incremental. It went on for months, then they
*finally* took 200GB of personal pics out of their business computer
and the upload takes about an hour now.

This is around 2.3 TB at this point.

It never stopped.

I did a reverse name lookup, and they are all in the amazon
cloud:
54.208.254.185 name =
ec2-54-208-254-185.compute-1.amazonaws.com
54.174.193.49 name =
ec2-54-174-193-49.compute-1.amazonaws.com
54.173.255.111 name =
ec2-54-173-255-111.compute-1.amazonaws.com

What port numbers?
I have seen this with an infected router. The traffic was
in and back out to Amazon cloud, as if it had been taken
over for a proxy or something.
Something else to look for is some Costco type security
camera system with a cloud DVR.

I was trouble shooting a problem on a connection this
morning, and found
that the client had three streams running to EC2 in the
Amazon AWS
cloud. It has been running for months, at a more-or-less
constant
upstream rate of about 300 Kbps per stream (all three
streams together
are less than 1 Mbps, but they are all constant, running
24x7 for at
least the last 8 months).
Is this a hijack of some sort? This particular customer is not
sophisticated, and I can not imagine what sort of compute
resource he
might require. He barely knows how to boot up his computer.
