Has anyone created a backup app that interfaces with glacier?

Arq works quite nicely with Glacier: http://www.haystacksoftware.com/blog/2012/11/arq-cloud-backu...

I'd been thinking about buying Arq for the last month or so, thank you for posting this link, it made buying Arq a no brainer.

How come it isn't advertised anywhere on their site or blog? I checked for one this morning!

Does anyone have an open implementation of the glacier api? I'd like to add support for it to my backup tool, but I don't want to have to take on the financial risk of a large bill from Amazon if I happen to mis-use the api. So I'd like to try it out on a local server first, to project what the cost would be after a few months of use.

Amazon has official, open source SDKs in most major languages that cover all of the AWS service APIs.

Actually, I meant is there an open project where I can put something on my own server, to provide the same API that glacier uses? That way I can development / test my code against it instead of testing against Amazon directly.
