Online Website Backup Options? 173

pdcull writes "I can't be the only person on the planet who has this problem: I have a couple of websites, with around 2 GB of space in use on my hosting provider, plus a few MySQL databases. I need to keep up-to-date backups, as my host provides only a minimal backup function. However, with a Net connection that only gets to 150 Kbps on a good day, there is no way I can guarantee a decent backup on my home PC using FTP. So my question is: does anybody provide an online service where I can feed them a URL, an FTP password, and some money, and they will post me DVDs with my websites on them? If such services do exist (the closest I found was a site that promised to send CDs and had a special deal for customers that had expired in June!), has anybody had experience with them which they could share? Any recommendations of services to use or to avoid?"

    Yeah, I had noticed the complete lack of paranoia in the original post as well.

    Send me your FTP details and some cash and I'll...backup...your data.

    NSA.gov?
    NSA: We backup your data so you won't have to!

    How it works:
    First, edit each page on your website ab add the following meta tags: how-to, build, allah, infidels, bomb (or just any of the last three, if you're in a hurry).

    On the plus side, you don't need to give them your money, nor your password.

    On the minus side ... there is no minus side (I mean, who needs to travel anyway?)

    Posting anonymously as I have moderated in this thread (that, and they already know where I live).

1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.

Working...
