I wrote this script some years ago, and can't remember how to get it going.
But, here's going to be my best guess :-)
1. Install prerequisites
### Install the prerequisites
You will need Python, [Boto](http://code.google.com/p/boto/), and a
working BackupPC installation.

Something like this seems like a good idea:
> Something like this seems like a good idea:
>
> cd /usr/local/src/
> git clone git://github.com/rtucker/backuppc-archive-s3.git
>
> Then create a link from `/usr/share/backuppc/bin/` to here:

> ln -s /usr/local/src/backuppc-archive-s3/BackupPC_archiveHost_s3 /usr/share/backuppc/bin/
cd /usr/local/src/
git clone git://github.com/rtucker/backuppc-archive-s3.git
### Configure this script
Then create a link from `/usr/share/backuppc/bin/` to here:
> Create a file in this directory called `secrets.py`, based upon the
> `secrets.py.orig` file. It should have your AWS Access and Shared keys,
> a passphrase that will be used to encrypt the tarballs, and, optionally,
> a path to a file that contains a maximum upload rate in kilobits per
> second:
>
> accesskey = 'ASDIASDVINASDVASsvblahblah'
> sharedkey = '889rv98rv8fmasmvasdvsdvasdv'
> gpgsymmetrickey = 'hunter2'
> speedfile = '/var/cache/speedlimit.txt'
>
> If you use the `speedfile` option, you can change this on the fly to
> limit upstream bandwidth usage during peak hours, etc.
### Configure BackupPC
ln -s /usr/local/src/backuppc-archive-s3/BackupPC_archiveHost_s3 /usr/share/backuppc/bin/
> From the BackupPC configuration interface, go to `Edit Hosts` and add a
> new host, `archiveS3`, which looks like the existing `archive` host.
> Save this, select the `archives3` host, and then `Edit Config` for that
> host.
>
> Change the settings on each tab as follows:
>
>> #### Xfer
>> XferMethod: archive
>> ArchiveDest: /var/lib/backuppc/archives3
>> ArchiveComp: bzip2
>> ArchiveSplit: 500
>> ArchiveClientCmd: $Installdir/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost_s3 $tarCreatePath $splitpath $parpath $host $backupnumber $compression $compext $splitsize $archiveloc $parfile *
>>
>> #### Backup Settings
>> ClientTimeout: 720000
>
> That should be just about it. Note that `ArchiveDest` is where it will
> stage the tarballs before it uploads them; this must have enough disk
> space for your archive! `ArchiveSplit` is the size of each tar file,
> in megabytes; you may want to adjust this for your needs. Also, the
> `ArchiveClientCmd` is the default, except with the `_s3` added.
3. Configure this script
### Use it
Create a file in this directory called `secrets.py`, based upon the
`secrets.py.orig` file. It should have your AWS Access and Shared keys,
a passphrase that will be used to encrypt the tarballs, and, optionally,
a path to a file that contains a maximum upload rate in kilobits per
second:
accesskey = 'ASDIASDVINASDVASsvblahblah'
sharedkey = '889rv98rv8fmasmvasdvsdvasdv'
gpgsymmetrickey = 'hunter2'
speedfile = '/var/cache/speedlimit.txt'
If you use the `speedfile` option, you can change this on the fly to
limit upstream bandwidth usage during peak hours, etc.
4. Configure BackupPC
From the BackupPC configuration interface, go to `Edit Hosts` and add a
new host, `archiveS3`, which looks like the existing `archive` host.
Save this, select the `archives3` host, and then `Edit Config` for that
host.
Change the settings on each tab as follows:
Xfer:
XferMethod: archive
ArchiveDest: /var/lib/backuppc/archives3
ArchiveComp: bzip2
ArchiveSplit: 500
ArchiveClientCmd: $Installdir/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost_s3 $tarCreatePath $splitpath $parpath $host $backupnumber $compression $compext $splitsize $archiveloc $parfile *
Backup Settings:
ClientTimeout: 720000
That should be just about it. Note that `ArchiveDest` is where it will
stage the tarballs before it uploads them; this must have enough disk
space for your archive! `ArchiveSplit` is the size of each tar file,
in megabytes; you may want to adjust this for your needs. Also, the
`ArchiveClientCmd` is the default, except with the `_s3` added.
5. Use it
Go to the main page for the `archives3` host and click `Start Archive`.
To start with, just tick the box next to the smallest backup you have,
then `Archive selected hosts`. Go with the defaults (which look
suspiciously like what you set on the Xfer tab, do they not? :-) and
then `Start the Archive`.
Watch syslog and hopefully everything will work.
