Just to give an anecdote - rsync.net has been in this business for a long time. From their own site:
> rsync.net began providing cloud storage for offsite backups in the fall of 2001, for our original corporate parent, JohnCompanies.
> In 2006, we became a stand-alone firm dedicated only to offsite backup. We provide this simple product and nothing else.
I set up rsync.net with a previous employer a decade ago and I am quite certain that all of the automation set up at that time is probably still functioning flawlessly.
Never had a single issue, it Just Worked from day one and provided us with off-site backups using trivial technology that took me scant minutes to set up.
It may not have the glitz of Amazon S3 and such, but the raw simplicity of the product + the stellar track record of the provider is very compelling.
