Cycling, Incremental, Compressed, Encrypted Backups to Amazon S3

  • Dead-simple configuration
  • Automatic rotation of backup sets
  • Alternation of full and incremental backups (using "tar -g")
  • Integrated GPG encryption
  • No temporary files used anywhere, only pipes and TCP streams (optionally, uses smallish temp files to save memory)
  • Integrated handling of MySQL dumps
  • Integrated handling of Subversion repositories, and of directories containing multiple Subversion repositories (including incremental backups-- thanks to Kevin Ross for that).

s3napback is basically a convenience wrapper around js3tream, and is at least partly inspired by the snapback2 script (which is still a great solution for incremental rsync-based backups to your own disks).
