What "overflow" are you concerned with? Unless you're backing up
petabytes of data (or whatever the limit would be) you can effectively
consider your S3 bucket to be infinite in size.

If you're backing up hundreds of gigs, I would suspect the concern's
you'll have include:

* Cost. You'll have to make periodic backups as you don't want an ever
increasing chain of incremental backups.
* Time to completion. If there is no parallelization backing up
hundreds of GB of data will likely take significant time.
