You could run a post-scrpit on your localhost-host to create a link "current" that links to the latest backup, set the option to have filled backups and then sync that "/var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/current" to S3. Or use a dedicated partition to untar a weekly tar generated from backuppc to get the current representation and upload that. But actually if I where you (and we are thinking about S3 too), I wouldn't upload any un-encrypted data to amazon. Especially if its information about other people or if its information that is important. Have fun, Arnold
