I'll address that here: We use streaming replication with a hot standby for fault tolerance on the PostgreSQL side. For backups in addition to the streaming replication we do WAL shipping to S3 every 15 minutes or 16 MB, and we do a full base backup to S3 daily during our low-traffic time of the day, which uploads around 30 GB to S3 daily (but LZO-compressed, so actually down to around 3 GB).
