If anyone was following this thread, I'll give you the latest news.

rsync.net just announced (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5638295)
that during May, they sell 50 GB of quota for $60 a year. I switched to
this deal, and it gives me 4 times the quota (!) I've been getting up
to now, at a price of just just 10 cents per gigabyte per month.
Now it will be much easier for me to backup my Linux system without thinking
twice about the quota, and I don't need to code anything on Amazon.
