Hello:
Does anyone know a free or low cost online backup system for CentOS?
Thanks, Neil

John:
tar(1)
I can use that on the server, but what is the other side to store the files? I want the storage to be remote.
Thanks, Neil

I use rsync to do backups, which automatically works over a ssh connection.

Did you mean you want to run something yourself remotely to collect and store backups or do you want a service? For the former case, look at backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or the package in epel). It can use rsync over ssh to collect the backups and uses compression and links duplicates to increase the history you can keep online.

I want a service.

I have made several attempts to send you this privately so as not to embarrass you here, but there appears to be no other way to get an email to you.

You haven't got much of a service going on there now. I have sent an email to you at neil@JAMMConsulting.com,webmaster@JAMMConsulting.com and postmaster@jammconsulting.com.
Your postmaster address apparently does not exist at all as required by RFC 2821.
Your neil and webmaster addresses reject mail from sasktel.net (the largest ISP in Saskatchewan, Canada), my own mailserver (melvilletheatre.com), and gmail.com.
Your mailserver definitely needs some attention and repair.
If you're in charge of it, please fix it. If you are not in charge of it, then bring this message to the attention of your system administrator and ask him to deal with it.
An individual email from me is probably not that important but you're likely losing a lot of stuff that you really do want to be able to receive with everything blocked like that. And again, your mailserver is also in violation of RFC 2821.

Not to be an ass Frank but have you considered the mail config on your end?
I had a look at your server's IP/DNS info and I'm reasonably certain it appears on my default blocklist/spamlist as well. Why? Because the IP you use appears to be assigned by your ISP to a residential DSL/Cable pool. A lot of spam filters mark emails from those ranges as automatically suspect or outright reject them. This is because the ranges marked for residential use usually have Terms of Service that prohibit running public facing services so a lot of spam filters automatically consider any email server in those ranges to be rogue.
If that's not the case and you have a business grade line, I'd suggest having a chat with your ISP to get that corrected. Our company's ISP, Telus, assigns 'clean' IP blocks for the commercial grade DSL lines we have.
I can't speak to GMail's issues but I have noticed that ISP's occasionally get blacklisted if their email servers get used for relaying. I had this issue several years back out west here in BC with Shaw Cable getting but on Spamhaus' RBL till they changed their email policies. You used to be able to send email with *any* sender address as long as you had a valid login with Shaw. That has since been changed.

I assume you mean something other than the ADrive or Rapidshare type sites? A Google search came up with this one...
...but I have no idea if they're any good and/or affordable.
I found them on Slashdot -- here's the thread where there are also other suggestions.

There's also the "brick and mortar" outfits like Iron Mountain -- which I believe has an online backup service.
Take a look @ www.bqbackup.net - they offer very good remote backup space with SSH access.

Amazon S3? A friend uses them and it costs him very little per month. He's been pleased so far. I have no personal experience with them to convey. If it were me, I'd probably encrypt and compress my data before saving it to an external site.

Just google for -- cheap vps centos -- and see what you find. You can SCP your compressed backups into an account quite easily. We do this for a mysql database backup. You could also use a cheap web hosting account with FTP access. Make sure you encrypt anything first if needed though.

Matt: In many posts I've read on webhostingtalk.com the TOS of most web hosting providers prohibits using the web space they provide for file storage. Probably BQ or another service is the way to go.

Good point. Likely depends on size of backups whether they care or not. I imagine it comes down to fact bandwidth, disk space and CPU cycles all cost money. We own our own server we use for this and rent the colocation space it sits in. Our backups are not very big after being compressed either. Good idea to check TOS though.

Have a look at crashplan, too. You can actually do quite a lot for free. I also use dropbox for light-duty stuff, which also serves to sync files between my dropbox account and my desktops/laptops.
