Sure, but what if your house burns down? When it comes to data, I like
the belt and suspenders approach -- use both.

Privacy is a concern. I saw that tarsnap.com thing -- I like it -- nice
and private. My real question is regarding the size and reliability of
the hardware backing his datastore.

With rsync.net, the judicious use of encfs --reverse can help alleviate
privacy/secrecy concerns.
