A comment on "DIY Dropbox" or "2-way directory (r)sync with proper deletion". Parent comment
Unlike dropbox, it only does work when I run it, and I can manually sort through the conflicts when I choose to run it (which is a good thing).
It also doesn't require a central server, so I can just use it to sync my laptop and PC.
Tarsnap is used for offsite backup, which I trust much more than myself or dropbox.
