Offsite and full backups (Score 1)

I recently started with an off-site rsync copy (daily) to a remote linux box. The linux box has an encrypted partition for added security.

Advantages: automatic, offsite, encrypted (rsync over ssh, over an Openvpn tunnel), rsync algorithm (only copy differences, etc..)... An extra step in the future will be adding BackupPC to the remote linux box.

Why all the hassle? I need to safe-guard approx. 25 GB (mostly pictures) and online backup services. If they're free, no thanks.
