David, I didn't hit the link but the screenshot you included was (I believe) referencing the fact that rman usually requires extra licenses for using oracle's built-in encryption and compression capabilities. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that the restricted use license applies to this part rather than the S3 part.

I'm pretty sure you don't need advanced security to do AWS backups. However I see a reference to an "oracle secure backup cloud module" in that screen shot - is this something you need to purchase extra?

Of course you'll want to read carefully yourself and make a final decision based on what you find. Don't take my word for anything. :)

To use additional features of the Oracle Advanced Security Option or the Oracle Advanced Compression Option, you must license those options separately. In addition, the Oracle Advanced Security Option must be licensed when performing RMAN encrypted backups directly to disk whether or not Oracle Secure Backup is the media manager.
