I'm looking into S3, and I'd like to know if anyone has experience
backing up a bucket.

I'm not worried about data loss due to fault on Amazon's side.  Instead,
I'm worried about accidentally deleting a file or something goofy like
that on my end.  From what I understand, if that happens, you're SOL.

It would be nice if I could periodically take a snapshot of a bucket and
copy it to another bucket.  The simplest case would be to just make a
bucket with a new name and copy all the items.

Of course, I'd like to avoid paying for the data transfer costs.

2 questions on this:

1. Is there a simple command to do this?  I haven't seen anything in the
aws-s3 docs.

2. Assuming the answer to 1 is no, has anyone done this?  I'm thinking
it could be done using EC2, since the transfer to and from EC2 is free. 
However, I have no experience with EC2, nor do I really want to learn
it.  Does somebody have a rake task that will do this magically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Micah
