   I have no idea how these "cloud services" work, but can one use rsync
against any of them?

   For many years I had an backup image file which I vnd'd and cgd'd and
then copied files to -- then I unconfigured the cgd and vnd and pushed
the file using rsync --checksum to a remote system.  For a time I did
this with a TrueCrypt image on a Windows XP laptop as well, and it
worked great.  (Again, thanks to "rsync --checksum").
