Backup using backup-manager on s3

Question

Amazon Web Services

Hello, I'm using backup-manager to back up to Amazon S3.

However, the question is how to copy backups to a specific folder in a bucket?
The BM_UPLOAD_DESTINATION="folder_name" directive has no effect. Backups are still poured into the root of the bucket.

and, as an addendum, a second question. Let's say you need to back up a certain directory every 15 minutes. But! even if something in the directory has changed, backup-manager creates one archive for one day:
File /var/archives/hostname-etc.20101113.master.tar.gz already exists, skipping.
Can this be overcome somehow?

I would advise you to use the Amazon S3 PHP class: undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class
