Hi, Few things:
- You can use S3, but then the rsync could be problematic, since there is no rsync "server" on the other side. - Amazon EBS is nice, but the Micro instance to use it with EBSis free based on your usage. I used the free Micro instance as a slave DNS and after 2 months I had to pay for it since my free usage has been somehow finished. - You can use several scripts that you can find on Google to rsync with Dropbox.
