I use Tahoe for backups on the allmydata.com grid. I don't use 'tahoe backup', I use 'tahoe cp'.
It doesn't always work--that recent pycrypto version thingy gave me errors. OTOH, if I only successfully back up once a month, that's still more often than I got around to backing up before I started using Tahoe, so I'm happy. -Larry H.
