About your S3 question, having something like rsync.net (where you can run a server process) is much faster/easier/better because your backup software can know exactly what's stored on the remote side and only send diffs.

I'm sure this can be overcome with some clever client-side engineering, but having a server process is always going to be more flexible overall.

A more pragmatic reason is "because Borg doesn't run as well on S3".
