+Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
+==================================
+
+Duplicity can store backups on Amazon S3 buckets, taking care of encryption.
+Since it performs incremental backups it minimizes the number of request per
+operation therefore reducing the costs. The boto Python interface to Amazon
+Web Services is needed to use duplicity with S3 (Debian package: python-boto).
