We also run a nightly "nodetool snapshot" on all nodes, and use duplicity to sync the snapshot to S3, keeping 7 days' worth of backups.
Since duplicity tracks incremental changes this gives you the benefit of point-in-time snapshots without duplicating sstables that are common across multiple backups. It also makes it easy to revert all nodes' state to X days ago in case of accidental or malicious data corruption.
