I can only tell you my experience with it so far.

I've been using it on Rackspace Cloud Files for a few years now and the
only problem I've had was Rackspace timing out on occasion. Right now
the largest "container" (as RS calls it) is 43 GB. A cheap ftp host
would be better than a "cloud" service [1], but maybe the eventual new
pyrax backend for Rackspace will help with the timeouts.

I did a routine test recovery yesterday with no issues.
