Cool. I’ll try it out in the near future and see how it performs for me. I don’t suspect I’ll have time this weekend though.

No, you can’t rsync to S3… The best thing to do is to separate your data into what needs to be backed up regularly (important documents, logs, creative content) versus what doesn’t (video, software, downloads) and see what kind of space requirements you have.

My requirements are met by an SVN repo hosted on my dreamhost account.

Neat trick, I’ve always wondered how they make guessing secret identity numbers an impractical venture.
