Baz, You don't really need to be too concerned about backing up files that are already stored on S3. Those files are thoroughly replicated on Amazon's end. For an added measure of security, you could duplicate your files from S3 to some other cloud storage service (i.e. cloudfiles), but it would probably be more trouble and cost than it's worth.
