Tarsnap – Online backups for the truly paranoid
If none of those commands perform dedupe and compression then tarsnap is much cheaper (like 20x cheaper).

It's safe to assume a bz2cat can be thrown in there. And I'm not sure how deduplication can work on encrypted dumps/files?

Tarsnap deduplicates first, then it encrypts.

I see, that makes sense. Any word on how it compares to simply shipping encrypted dumps to S3?

Depends how much tarsnap manages to deduplicate, really.
