Duplicity is a simple tool for signed/encrypted (PGP) differential backups using a variety of protocols including: ssh/scp, local file access, rsync, ftp, HSI, WebDAV, Tahoe-LAFS, and Amazon S3. I'm assuming that rackspace storage supports at least one of these?
There is a very easy to use command line interace, and also a GUI (which I have not tried).
Thanks, I love duplicity from a technical standpoint, but for some reason, I'd like to have a native OSX UI and the ability to access my data from my iOS device while on the go.
Seeing as you build your own 'filesystem' on top of a simple key/value interface, I think advancing the backend support might be good 'low hanging fruit'.
It doesn't even have to be something as 'cloudy' as rackspace, support for something like webdav as an ARQ backend would also be nice.
That being said, I have actually no idea about the codebase and user base, so this could be a completely wrong assumption :)
Personally, my biggest 'problem' with Arq at the moment is, that the iPhone client works, but I'm missing stupid small things like thumbnail previews for uploaded images.
Would love to see it - for cloud files - and all swift deployments (the whole cloud files source is open sourced as part of openstack). let us know if we can help in any way.
Take a look at http://www.superflexible.com/
it's a great product, updates constantly, and with lots of features. We are using it on our production env.

Is there any backup software similar to Arq[0] that uses Rackspace?

Should Arq use Rackspace (I'm the author of Arq)? So far it's only been using S3 because that has always seemed to me to be the best option.

There's always JungleDisk: https://www.jungledisk.com/
Has there been any development on that lately? They haven't even updated the blog for over a year.
