Duplicity and the Rackspace CloudFiles API for backups

I've been playing with RackSpace Cloud lately and so far I've been quite impressed. The price is quite competitive, the network seems quite stable and performance is no issue. Plus: persistent storage in the cloud, out of the box! Awesome.

The support has been good (I had a routing issue on privatenet interfaces between two servers, which I was certain was either at the network or hypervisor layer and not my firewall. The engineers and I ran through the usual tests til it was assumed a hypervisor routing issue with this particular guest, which a reboot of the guest fixed).
