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.
