I'll be very interested to hear how you get on. I'm thinking of doing
something similar myself.
The other nice thing with this set up is that you only need to run (and
pay for) the VM while you are making the backup. It is also possible to
script the whole thing from a linux box. The crude but
That sounds exactly like the solution I was imagining - I just need to work
out if it's easy enough to do and more importantly if it's feasible as a
solution.
I'll post back with any stumbling blocks or successes.
Many thanks and best seasonal wishes everyone.

One option might be to rsync to an EBS disk image attached to the EC2 VM

S3 in any case.
Have a look at s3cmd, it can do rsync-alike to S3.

Spin up an EC2 image on Amazon servers, use Rsync to back up my data to S3
