I'm looking at getting a Synology or QNAP server and using that for backups with a Samba based file sharing system. I have a server lying around, but a dedicated device would save on power consumption so I'm going to go with that.

I believe you can also backup your whole server to S3 periodically using their built in tools.

Ahh, but S3 is so damn expensive! It would be $140/month for 1 TB of storage (ignoring transfer costs), which I could use to build my own damn server farm.
