Looks like it would work for S3-based backups and is almost certainly neater than my custom solution -- but doesn't support Glacier. It's probably not hard to add support though, as long as it's making tarball-like archives and not individual files it'll play OK with their accounting. (Glacier encourages fewer, very large, file archives)
Amazon has a facility for automatically copying S3 data into Glacier. So why can't anything that uses S3 support copying the data to Glacier? Also why do you want Glacier? Last time I looked at the pricing the cost of storing 15TB in Glacier for a year was about equal to buying a Dell PowerEdge T110 server and 5*4TB disks which in a RAID-Z configuration will store the same amount of data. Personally I'd trust a ZFS server I run at a remote site more than Amazon cloud storage. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
