    Does anyone here use Amazon S3 for backing up your WordPress sites?  I have recently signed up for Amazon S3 to use for backing up my clients sites and being new to this I am trying to find out what are the best practices for using this service.  Would you create a bucket for each client?  Are there certain settings that I should be aware of and change from whatever the defaults are?

    I want to make sure I have everything set-up properly from the get go and not find an error down the road that might cost me.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    That depends on whether you need to set different permissions. Who has access to the buckets? If it's just you, then the bucket is only for organizational needs.  If not, then you probably want to restrict one client from accessing another's data.

    As of right now it will only be me with access to this as I will be maintaining the backups and any needed restores.  Right now I am setting each client up as their own bucket.

    Thanks for the feedback.
