[ale] Cloud Storage recommendations?

[Jeff Layton]

I saw that quote as well :)  I've just gotten tired my doing my own 
backups and was thinking about the Cloud. I know AWS has the ability to 
encrypt data at rest and use SSL for data transfer to/from S3. You can 
even use your own keys which is attractive.

Thanks!

Jeff
