First and foremost, your plugin is badass! I'm really pleased with the quality.
I'm having trouble getting my backups to S3. I've tried using a global key and user specific key as AWS was begging me to do. I've tried everything outlined in your troubleshooting and docs except where cURL is mentioned. I'm on localhost running MAMP and the php.ini makes no reference to cURL. I'm running El Capitan and typing cURL in terminal reveals that it's part of the OS. That's all I know how to do. Is it possible to get it going or should I spare us all a headache and just use Dropbox until the site is on my shared host? Do you know if it will work with Dreamhost? Thanks for any help. The original error displayed no matter the settings (SSL vs not, in parts or not, every size down to 1MB, etc.) is:
Upload cannot be initialised.

All I can add is that I'd like to use JPS but have tried the other options just in case.
I've already tried ALICE twice but she hangs and I gave up after 1000 seconds of server timeout. I'll leave it going once more to see if she works things out.
Thank you,
