Any experience with AmazonDrive for NAS backup?

See that AmazonDrive offers unlimited storage for $59.99 year. Wondering if this will work for full NAS backup to the cloud? cannot seems to find any condition on file type or sizes. Any experience using this service to full 1:1 backup of your NAS?

    Right now,  the Amazon app on the ReadyNAS does 2-way sync, which isn't the same as backup (deletions on the NAS are reflected on the Amazon drive, and vice versa).  Another limitation is that the files on the drive are not encrypted (which some users want).  

     

    There are some ideas posted in the idea exchange on this, you might want to browse through that list and vote for the ideas that you'd like to see implemented.
