I haven't scripted it yet, but that should do it.

I have a Python script that I've been manually pushing little backups
up to Amazon's S3.  Things like bzipped database dumps or SVN dumps.
I always want the latest and want to just shove it off the server as a
cheap and easy offsite backup.  So I'll use that to get the latest
file inside my Python script.

Thanks,
Rob
