home backup solution

Offsite - I use Mozy - 6 bucks a month for unlimited backups - they're owned
by EMC. (I have about a TB with them. Initial upload took about 2 months on
1MB upstream). (Why people cheap out on this is beyond me...)

Also: They let you specify your own private AES key for encrypting that data
that only you know, so nobody at their site has access to your data.

Onsite - Time Machine to a big external drive.

Except for a case of theft / weather / house burn down, I'd be restoring
from Time Machine.

Carboneite doesn't have a linux client so that looks out, Jungle Disk
is a Rackspace product and I've had good experience with them so it
could be in. I'll have a look at it. The only problem could be that it
doesn't seem to support incremental backups just single files. Any
solutions that handle incrementals?

I use Carbonite and Jungle Disk/Amazon S3 both are reasonably priced.
Tape
drives are a bit pricey.

What are people using to backup their home networks at the moment?
I've probably got about about 5G to backup and was wondering about
tape. I don't fancy building a large RAID system or buying something
like a drobo as I know that I'll end up using it for normal storage
rather than just backups and that will defeat the point.

Any tips?
