How would this be different than using Amazon S3 with s3cmd (https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd)? I understand scp is stock in all Linux distros, but Amazon S3 is extremely cost competitive, allows archival to Glacier, and allows for immediate verification of data integrity. It only takes moments to install s3cmd from the command line. Please don't think I'm being a debbie downer. I could be wrong. TL;DR Why is this better than S3?
