My ISP provide me with a 20meg filespace that I make use of regularly. I
compress, encrypt and upload to it nightly.
Not a lot of room... but perfect for important config data, etc. It also has
the advantage of being accessable where ever and when ever I'm near an
internet hookup...
For larger datasets... ATA Hard drives have never been cheaper. Either go
external via usb or firewire or invest in removable drive mounts... It's the
cheapest way possible, that I know of, to backup 100's of gigs of data
quickly.
