The new web service

from Amazon, Amazon S3, is very interesting. It’s very simply API-addressable storage on the internet at a very low rate - 15 cents a month per Gig of storage and 20 cents per Gig of transfer. Am I wrong, or would it be trivially easy for the guy who made my backup software to integrate this into his software in some way so that I could have cheap overnight offsite backups? I know I could use Automator to upload a full backup image to Amazon S3 once a week - which is just what I plan to do.
