RSYNC, even FTP is fine.  You can back up to your home PC if you have a
fast connection, just tar up what you want backed up.  Then ftp it to
your home box.  If you are running linux, you can rsync it too.  I am not
aware of any rsync clients.   You can find a service such as ibackup or
other to backup to.  We offer a service that will automatically back up
your sites to our system.  You don't have to worry about it being
completed as you will receive a report of the completion and what files
were backedup.  Quite handy if you ask me.  That is the service basically,
and it can go much farther that that.  Basically use what you can easily
and without too much fuss get done and know your backups are safe and
available 24/7.
