Yes, you can setup two tasks to zip a folder named by the date string, then upload the zip file to AmazonS3.
Task1:
Folder1: A local folder.
Folder2: A ZIP file. Name like this:
C:\Folder2\<date:MMddyyyy>.zip
For the detailed format of the time string, please refer to the following URL: http://www.risefly.com/help/TimeFormat.htm
In "Application" setting, run the following Task2 after synchronization.
Task2:
Folder1: The folder that contains the above zip file
Fodler2: Amazon S3 bucket
