I have seen changes in 3.5.x in amvault and S3 storage.

I am currently successful in using it for amvault into a S3 storage,
ceph back-end.

The only problem that I see is with a very big installations of
amanda, were if some hosts fails it cascade into much more fails.
Jean-Louis is on it and have provided patchs to solve the problem.

Kind regards

Oh this is 3.4.5, on Debian - José's test package.  I see that 3.5.1 is
available but I am in package-hold on a production server and I am
cautious by preference.
