Has anyone used the appliance backup feature to perform a back-up and save to an Amazon S3 endpoint?

I was not able to achieve this for on-prem vSphere shop and did not find any documentation from VMware around this.

And please be aware of the known limitation:

The vCenter Server Appliance GUI installer does not support restore from a backup with NFS or SMB protocol. To perform a restore from an NFS or SMB protocol, use the vCenter Server Appliance Management API.
