s3-backup-rotate 0.3.3

Backup your files to Amazon Web Services in a way that slowly forgets! I’ve learned that this way is refered to as the [‘Grandfather, father, son’](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_rotation_scheme#Grandfather-father-son) strategy.

This script copies a file to Amazon S3 and rotates it.

The filename will have a date stamp added before the first . in the filename. Do not add a timestamp yourself, this will cause the script to treat the file as a unique file and the rotation won’t work!

Rotation works as follows: - Keep files from the last X days - After that, keep Y files spaced at least a week apart - After that, keep Z files spaced at least 30 days apart

## Installation
