Never really thought about that, 

At first glance this looks like what I would do,  this is similar to encryption 
on LVM disk volume taking out of Bareos client hands.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html

Note FD to SD should still be PSK encrypted over the wire, and the SD to S3  
should be SSL encrypted over HTTPS,  then this just encrypts it when it lands 
at AWS.  Though I always questioned cloud systems where you give them the key 
to encrypt data that you assume you do to make sure they can’t access it 
(melitious employee, etc)  YMMV.  IN that case yeah you may want to encrypt 
before uploading and this may be the best path.

But key management is KEY to make sure you can actually access your data.
