EC2 has no support for BSD, if my cursory search was right, and Tarsnap runs partially on an EC2 instance.

The Tarsnap server isn't running on FreeBSD (yet...) but a very large portion of the Tarsnap client code comes from the libarchive library, which grew out of FreeBSD. Whether that counts or not is a matter of opinion.
