specified, the entire snapshot is restored.
+Remote Backups
+--------------
+
+The cumulus-util command can operate directly on remote backups. The
+--store parameter accepts, in addition to a raw disk path, a URL.
+Supported URL forms are
+ file:///path Equivalent to /path
+ s3://bucket/path Storage in Amazon S3
+ (Expects the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+ environment variables to be set appropriately)
+
+To copy backup snapshots from one storage area to another, the
+cumulus-sync command can be used, as in
+ $ cumulus-sync file:///cumulus s3://my-bucket/cumulus
+
+Support for directly writing backups to a remote location (without using
+a local staging directory and cumulus-sync) is slightly more
+experimental, but can be achieved by replacing
+ --dest=/cumulus
+with
+ --upload-script="cumulus-store s3://my-bucket/cumulus"
+
+
