Have you used either one of these?

Anyone tried Deja Dup, which purports to work with S3/Rackspace?

The primary purpose for this is most likely deduping.  They don't actually give each person 5GB- if you and I upload the same song, it's only on the server once.  There are other ramifications beyond this, but I don't believe that the intent *right now* is nefarious.  Of course, who knows what the future holds...
