Petabytes on a budget: How to build cheap cloud storage

What a pity, I'd like to have a way to store just a encrypted backup directly (via ssh) instead of installing a app which crawls my system. Oh did I mention I use Linux? sign

Does somebody know any other company which provides this solution? I don't trust other people to crawl my system and to "encrypt" it for me.

EDIT: Added Question

Did you look at tarsnap (http://www.tarsnap.com/)? I don't use it, but read about it here quite a bit and it sounds really great.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a troll or not, but...

rsync does exactly what you're looking for. You can also pipe it over SSH encyption on the wire. type "man rsync" at a shell for a description of how.

How about http://allmydata.com/? They offer a JSON-based, restful API, an FTP interface or you can use their open source software which includes encryption.
