Similar here, don't really want to do a full backup of all my personal files and such to dropbox.

Right now I only do a local backup to a usb HD. However, I'm considering getting an amazon EBS volume and setting up a Ruby script or something to put up a micro server, compress and encrypt my files and sent them out the the aws volume.

Backblaze/crashplan is cheaper, but they use a server side key, which is pretty pointless. Glacier would be cheaper but seems more complicated to set up.

FYI. Crashplan is pretty cheap and purports to have client-side encryption. They are closed source but they are setup to have you provide a key in the backup client.

We do have client side encryption. You can check out our document outlining the features here: https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Latest/Configuring/Arch...
