  • I just finished adding off-site backup for my home machines, also through DreamHost. My version uses duplicity to make encrypted, incremental backups of my various machines to a central server (for easy restores). I then use rsync to push it all to DreamHost in the middle of the night (for redundancy). (tip: use --bwlimit to keep it from chewing-up all the network bandwidth)



    It's quite satisfying having a backup system that's automatic, secure, redundant, and universal -- server(s), workstations, even my family's PDAs are all backed-up, and my precious bits can survive any disaster short of a nuclear war (and maybe even that).

  • I like (and use) the free version of Mozy. The vital things I need on my work machine are emails and documents, all of which fit in under 2gig.
