Adding to that: Other than the horrendous possible security flaws
present in libs3 (try to compile with a recent GCC and see for yourself)
the nature of anything cloud-bases is inherently volatile.

The AWS-API may change at any given moment (and it has in the past),
making libs3 incompatible without updates.

And without an upstream author implementing those changes, your backups
are more or less gone.

My very pessimistic view on the situation is: Don't use any backup
solution using libs3 if you value your data.

But: YMMV.

Sven.
