Hi Martin,
quite frankly s3cmd is not intended to be a full-system backup tool. At
least not yet. For full system backups there's much more to be stored,
e.g. device nodes and symlinks, to name the most prominent candidates.
But I agree that storing empty directories and keeping some data about
directories in general (ownership, permissions, ...) is a good idea. Not
sure if it's going to be implemented for 1.0.0 but is definitely high on
the TODO list.

Hi Michal,
what about this bug
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=887015&aid=3076765&group_id=178907
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=887015&aid=3076765&group_id=178907>
?
Most of system will not work after restored without empty folders so
it seams to be to be very critical issue without to be solved into 1.0
version.
If I remember correctly somebody submitted patch for that, but I am
not able to find it.
Thank you for your great work,

Hi all s3cmd users!
I'm sorry for not being active on this list for the past couple of
months. I was busy with some non-IT stuff and didn't have time for
s3cmd at all. I'm back online though and am pulling patches
together for a s3cmd 1.0.0 release. The current development
snapshot has just been released as 1.0.0-rc1.
_New features worth testing:_
- Support for Reduced Redundancy Storage
- New commands for turning access logging on and off both for S3
Buckets and for CloudFront
- New setacl --acl-grant and --acl-revoke supporting all sorts of
grantees, not only public/private as it used to be. [Timothee Groleau]
- CloudFront commands now accept bucket name (s3://bucket) as well
as CloudFront distribution id (cf://A1B2C3D4E5) for convenience.
- Support for creating buckets in locations outside the original
US and EU.
- Follow local symlinks for sync and put with --follow-symlinks
option [Aaron Maxwell]
- Support for DefaultRootObject in CloudFront [Luke Andrew]
_And of course a lot of bugfixes:_
- ignore files that disappear during upload
- infamous "Error 21 - Is a directory" fixed (hopefully)
- fixed listing of buckets with 1000+ directories [Timothee Groleau]
- won't give up that easily on failed requests
- python 2.7 compatibility
- some other minor bugfixes ones
There are probably some more patches floating around that should
make it into 1.0.0 - let me know if you have anything to contribute!
One major thing holding us back from releasing the final 1.0.0 is
indeed the documentation. Any volunteers to bring the manpage up
to date with the current code? No? Oh well... :(
Pretty please test test test the current s3cmd 1.0.0-rc1 and let
me know if you experience any problems:

Looking forward for your feedback!
