This page could really benefit from a screenshot or if you're feeling adventurous, a screencast. I don't want to commit to downloading this app without seeing how it functions. I understand it lets me back up to S3, but how? I dare say if you add these images, your conversion rates will skyrocket. Assuming this is your site, anyway.

You're probably (hopefully?) right. It was on my list, but maybe I'll move it to the top of my list.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right. The files are named using the SHA1 hash of their contents (to enable de-duplication) and small files are packed together (to dramatically improve performance). I thought that was the best solution given the limits of the S3 API. JungleDisk does something similar I think. What sort of alternative for restoring would you be interested in? Maybe an open-source command-line utility?

A command-line utility is always a big plus for those who like scripting. Maybe a FUSE script/app/plugin?
