[TriLUG] cheap offsite backup

I have an Ubuntu hardy server and I'd like to do offsite backup. I've
had somebody recommend tarsnap (http://www.tarsnap.com/) for this.
Anybody have experience with it? Anybody want to pitch me on something
else? Keep in mind that I'd like to stick with a service (as opposed
to spinning up another VM to back up this VM), and I'd like to pay <<
$5/month if possible. Initially I'll be backing up about 14G worth of
database dumps, /var/www, etc. and I expect this to grow by about 512M
per month.

Cheers,
