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. 2. Many times it spits the entire python error, and not some simple error messages.
I just played with duplicity for the last hour.
