I'm looking for an offsite backup solution to store the important files on my home work station. We use some high end backup software at work for backing up all the servers, but I'm looking for something pretty small scale or preferably even free. I was thinking of writting a little java app that would monitor set locations and upload the files via ftp if there was any changes, but that's probably going to be a bit too much work and I couldn't really be bothered. :) I'm sure there must be some kind of simple utilities or providers that would supply this service in Australia.

I found one mob called http://www.idrive.net.au/ ... thier pricing and software looks like it would do everything i need. The only reservation i have about backing up over the net is that my bandwidth usage is going to go through the roof. Some kind of byte level incremental backup would be the go, but even then i'm not sure if it would take up too much bandwidth. Maybe, I should just get an old linux box and put it in the garage. It's not offsite, but it would be another option.

Update: This thread on whirlpool forums has some good links. http://www.orbitfiles.com/ and http://www.box.net/ look pretty good with 1Gb free plans. 

Update2: Ok. I just gave orbitfiles.com a shot and let me just say it wasn't what it was cracked up to be. The backup utility was very basic, only allowing you to upload/backup specific files. I'm really looking for something that will allow me to backup an entire directory atblock level without having to think about it too much.
