Amazon S3 AWS new way to backup



I posting this in case anyone is interested in using the inexpensive
storage at Amazon S3 AWS to automatically backup their system.  There
is a new and better way to backup data by using s3fs to mount a S3
bucket to local directory and then use rsync to keep up to date with
the files.  The Howto is posted here:

The older way to backup using s3sync is posted below.  It contains
vital information about creating and controlling the Amazon buckets so
you may want to read it first.
