I'm sure I mentioned this before. One more time won't hurt. For great off site storage try jungle disk.
http://www.jungledisk.com/

It works with Linux and costs $0.15 per gigabyte. You also need to pay for the jungle disk software. That doesn't cost much. I got it with the rsyinc option. I think that's an extra $1 a month or something like that.

I started an rsync backup process yesterday afternoon. It's still going as I type. I'm guessing at least 14 gigabytes of data will be sent to Amazon. I haven't done this in a while and I'm sure there are things I don't need backed up. I plan to run this once a week.

At the moment jungle disk is only installed on my data storage server. Plan to install it on the workstation and laptop soon. Maybe this Friday night...

Oh, any bets on how long it will take to backup my data? Current speed is about 120 kilobytes/sec...
