No, you don't need to pay Amazon to store your backups locally. TKLBAM's usability is optimized for working with Amazon S3 storage. So you'll need to sign up for TKLBAM on Amazon even if you don't use S3 because that's part of the activation process. If you don't use S3 (e.g., use --address to store your backups locally) then you won't be paying $0.15/GB per month for storage.
