Does anyone else but me find S3 backup painfully slow ? Somewhat awkward too, as if you are encrypting, you're pretty much limited to doing incremental backups on your end, otherwise everything changes in every file necessitating monstrous upload time. I also found some clients couldn't cope with >2GB files, and had to split them up. Backing up about 7GB took days. I tried cockpit/jet3S, S3Dav & JungleDisk (WebDavFS --- which basically just cached everything locally doubling disk usage while writing incredibly and painfully slowly to S3), and other clients. I got the best performance from the command line using s3sync, but still painfully slow even on a fast connection. I can see using S3 for backing relatively small important files, but it seems to me not to be well suited to use as an off-site complete system backup.
