None of us is, but there is an external developer that is trying to implement something like this. The whole topic might be a better fit for pbs-devel though ;)

backing up directly to S3 will be hard for a multitude of reasons:
- you don't want to write individual chunks as objects (too expensive)
- you don't want to slow down the guest because of the speed of the object storage
- ..
instead, a similar approach to the tape backup feature would be needed:
- define retention and bucket allocation policies
- combine metadata (snapshots/..) and chunks of a local datastore in a meaningful way into buckets
- have some sort of index/catalog that tells you which buckets you need to restore which snapshots into a datastore
- ..
hope this makes sense!
