I hope they can get the access time down from 3-5 hours to about 1 hour - that's the difference for me between it being a viable alternative for storing backups

I hope they can get the access time down from 3-5 hours to about 1 hour - that's the difference for me between it being a viable alternative for storing backups of my client's web sites or not. I might create a script that uploads everything to Glacier and just keeps a couple of the latest backups on S3 though.
