As someone who sync's volumes up to S3, I would recommend a much smaller 
volume size, and to only use a volume for one backup.  Two reasons: 
smaller files mean you don't have to upload so much again if an upload 
fails, and if you only use one backup per volume, then you don't have 
to upload data again the next time a volume is updated.   S3 is "whole 
file," and you can't do rsync style uploads to S3.
