It's not an rsync solution (although there are some like
http://s3sync.net/wiki) but a friend of mine who owns a consulting
company employing several telecommuters is using S3 via a $20 piece of
software called Jungle Disk (
http://jungledisk.com/) to back up his
laptops in the field. He's been very happy with it. I'm trying to get
one of my clients to consider it for his computers in the wild.
