You mentioned scripts for this IIRR. What is their status?
I have wrote my own script for sending my bacula created backups to S3:

But there are various other tools which can be used which would probably
be a more suitable generic backup solution for most people. I think we
compiled a list of then here on -list a while back.
I agree. For most people this is a big up ... but we are back to
the security/privacy question since I suspect it is _not_ encrypted
locally before transmission to S3.
For most people unencrypted backups to S3 are better than no backups at
all. If you are backing up payroll data, SSN's, state secrets, etc. then
this is clearly not the case. Also note that your communications with S3
*are* encrypted. You get a key when you sign up. What I am not sure of
is whether the data is encrypted while it is stored on their servers or
not. I suspect not.
