Hello, I've recently submitted this patch for the backup module which allows automated regular backups of a Drupal installation to Amazon S3. It currently uses Geoffrey Gaudreault's Amazon S3 PHP class, which requires the Crypt_HMAC and (hacked) HTTP_Request PEAR modules, as well as forcing the site developer to alter some variables within the code of the class. I'm hoping the File API will offer a much easier way to integrate the backup.module with Amazon S3.
How much work has been done on the File API with S3 so far? Does it require Crypt_HMAC and hacked HTTP_Request as do other PHP implementations of S3?
