Backup Management via S3

[Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, so pushing for adoption of S3 for archiving could be seen as biased even though I do not work on the S3 directly]
I haven't used this yet, but I downloaded it last night (now that beta 7 is out). Based upon some number crunching of my own, this looks like an extremely cost effective archive source system for my meager needs with a very low barrier to use.
