In the "s3ql_metadata" object.

In S3QL 1.12, no. It shows only the backups. In recent S3QL versions,
yes. For example (with S3QL 2.8.1):
$ s3qladm download-metadata s3://foobrazl
The following backups are available:
No Name Date
0 s3ql_metadata 2014-06-20 08:24:15
1 s3ql_metadata_bak_0 2014-06-18 16:46:16
2 s3ql_metadata_bak_1 2014-06-17 21:46:44
[...]

I don't understand the question. S3QL backends don't have a folders,
they are simple key-value stores.

The local metadata, C.
