If your RaQs are colocated, and you have a full-time connection at your
home/office (as I do), then there's another option.

You can write a script that'll tar up the files you need, and then ftp
them to an ftp server you run yourself at your home/office.

You can also automate a system to overwrite your backup on an
every-other-day or weekly basis.
