I just lease a dedicated atom based server from interserver with a 1.5 TB sata drive in it. It comes to $49/month.
I end up using it for lots of other stuff like a vpn host so that I have an american IP when overseas, a small web server for personal projects, an always on VOIP switchbox to route from one number to all my cell phones, and a git host with gitolite for code.
For backup, I just use a bunch of rsync scripts that dump onto the big disk.
IMHO, everyone should have a personal server in some datacenter somewhere.
