We'll be able to once S3 has been fixed. I imagine this is also impacting on Amazon's brand new beta testing video service, too. Or perhaps the video service is what impacted on S3.

The nice thing about the SecoBackup product is it runs in the background, and only delays back ups by 6 hours, does not skip or miss them. We sailed smoothly through this. Some downtime is something we expect, and for a service like backup we dont mind it, esp. for the cost of using Amazon's AWS.
