Can anyone recommend a commercial off site remote backup service with a
client (preferably FOSS) for CentOS 5, preferably that allows encryption
of the data being backed up?
Small scale, I'm primarily looking to just back up my mail folder on my
server.
I've been backing it up to local hd via rsync but that drive just died,
I'd prefer to have it backed up to somewhere more stable than a home box
and automated via cron (cli tools a must), but encryption is important,
people are snoopy and I'm paranoid about that sort of stuff.

http://rsync.net/
I have not used them personally, but a few acquaintances have been using them for a year or two with no problems. 'It just works.'

I'd like to recommend duplicity. I have it running at my employers site
for multiple customers with each one backup up data in the TiByte+
range. Works like a charm.

I am also looking for encrypted remote backups, been searching the internetz
for a while. The only service worth considering so far (imho) is Colin
Percival's tarsnap (www.tasnap.com).
Let me know which solution you choose, I'm interested.

Dunno how http://nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ will work for you.
Comments solicited from esteemed members. Of course Amanda, Bacula are
there in the conventional DR model.
Never had an opportunity/resources to try it though.
But all the same, looks impressive:

Again, I have never touched it...
