I noticed that you still listed an improvement to this script regarding S3, yet in some mailing list messages and docs going back several years, it appears that S3 was no longer supported. Is this still the case? I’ve updated to this version and still the S3 upload doesn’t work.

Thanks for the new release! There is a minor problem, though: backup-manager still says version 0.7.8, because the VERSION variable in the main script has not been changed.
Also, the commit changing the file VERSION has not been pushed to github yet, AFAICS.
