One way to do this is by just using something like rclone (which speaks
AWS) to sync the rsnapshot backup to AWS. I do this with borg backups: I
used to do this with hubiC, which unfortunately has been offline for a
while. I currently sync a borg backup with a c14 cold storage repository
using a tool I wrote for this purpose:

https://github.com/tmo1/c14sync

(rclone doesn't have the capability to automate the moving of data into
and out of c14's "safes" (cold storage repositories), or at least it
didn't when I wrote my utility, but in general, rclone is the standard
tool to sync local data with cloud storage providers, assuming you
don't have access to the cloud storage via traditional protocals like
ssh and rsync.)
