I went to Bacula for 2 new customers.
Bit of a learning curve ... it's designed for big environments.

Big plus: web gui "Bacularis". And the postgres-DB behind all the features.

Bacula CE should also contain a AWS S3 driver (I googled that quickly 
... no further expertise).

Side note to Amanda and S3: I worked around that by using Kopia as 
"second transporter": write to virtual tapes on disk via Amanda, then 
sync those to S3 via Kopia. Not very elegant, but does the trick in some 
environments.
