Look up WAL-E. It's works really well. We tried using OmniPITR and it's buggy and doesn't seem to get fixed very quickly (if at all).
If you've encountered bugs with OmniPITR, please feel free to open an issue on Github. If you look at the issue and commit history you can see that we do indeed fix reported issues or respond to help people with problems they are having.
