Depends what you're backing up IMO.

In the case of my home video and pictures, I have terabytes of data that is largely unique+incompressible so the "dedupe" step on every backup program I've used so far takes a ridiculously long time and yields approximately zero space savings.

Incremental backup I also don't care about because `s3 sync` already only syncs what changed, and I don't care about restoring to previous versions because I want it to be an append-only store, which S3 versioning gives me.

I also need it to be simple for my family to recover data from in case I die suddenly, so I don't want them to have to decode some binary format to get at our pictures and video.

Makes sense. I wasn’t think about all this use case.
