Dupicity is nice, but it really sucks due to 2 issues:

1. With S3, you cannot select folder as a destination INSIDE the
bucket. You can add a bucket name and thats it. It might be useful for
a simple backup, but when you want to create several backups where
each backup sits at a specific directory in the same bucket, you're
out of luck.

But that is a limitation of S3 and not duplicity: S3 provides buckets, in each one you can create key value pairs. That's it. The concept of folder does not exists.

The reason some other software "support" directores is that they encode a facade of a directory inside a bucket using various methods. Each tool does it differently (special rules for key names, specially named directory keys, keys being marked as directory based on Content-Type attribute etc.) and the methods are not compatible.

Duplicity programmers side-stepped the whole issue by doing the Right Thing (tm): S3 does not support the notion of directories so they don't either. It's an S3 thing.

If you want separate "directories", simply use different buckets.

2. Many times it spits the entire python error, and not some simple
error messages.

Well, make my life easier to debug problems :-)
