Yes pretty much. That seems to the the intended use-case, but I think it could also be used locally to distribute/replicate storage on multiple servers easily.

Of course the "friend" could be also a VPS rented somewhere as an off-site backup.

That is cool then! I don't see an application for myself at the moment, but anything that implements AWS services without Amazon (or any corp for that matter) is great in my book!
