I use the paperclip gem and store files on S3 with my Heroku apps and it works great. I believe this approach is very common.

I too am implementing paperclip...but I am wondering about backing up the uploads. How do you backup those uploads? I was thinking that I would store the first copy on the host - then push them to s3 for backup (and maybe 1 other CDN, just to be ultra paranoid).

But, it seems to me, that if you are just passing through Heroku altogether - that removes one point of fault tolerance and redundancy - right?
