Sorry, I can't seem to find my notes on it. But, it is very simple to use. For example, ~$ s3cmd put file.tar.gz s3://foo/file.tar.gz

I recall that http://s3tools.org/s3cmd has everything you need to know. I'll post those notes if I can find them.

Best,

>>The first is a command / script that runs a complete backup of your cPanel account, and sends it to a remote location.  While working with a cPanel dump is not pretty / fun, it's good to have in case something happens to your hosting provider, and they lose your account / shut down / etc. (i.e. - you can't trust them, and you need to restore to another provider from a recent backup).  NOT ALL PROVIDERS enable the backup function - BlueHost does not, for example - since it makes it easy to migrate away from them.  Check with your hosting provider to see if they allow full cPanel backups.  I run this once a week for each cPanel account, and have it FTP the files down to a storage device at my home (since it's "off-site" for my host, and they are all personal sites).

>>The second is a script that dumps a copy of your mySQL databases, and sends them to a remote location (email, FTP, etc.).  It will even clean up after itself, so you only keep the past 4 days, etc.  This one, I run nightly, and it FTPs the files to my storage device at home again.  If I need to do a restore, the worst I lose is 24 hours worth of content.
