The proviso is you should pick an established and profitable provider,
like Megaupload, lest your backups suddenly evaporate.

OK, seriously, there seem to be hundreds of backup tools in the apt
repositories, which I take to mean they are all annoying.  It is worse
than music players.  I use rsnapshot (a hardlink/ rsync wrapper)
where I can, but not out of love.
