Use a filesystem that lets you take regular snapshots, like zfs.

  This is good for now, but snapshots are like RAID: they are not backups.

    They are if you send them offsite. Backups with version history are great if you can swing them.

      Startup idea: zfssend.net, a place to send snapshots to As A Service :D

        I think you are looking for https://rsync.net https://rsync.net

          The name I suggested was a clear reference to them. But they provide storage "accessible with any SSH/SFTP tool", not a place to `zfs send` to.

                It was in my browsing history, somehow. No idea how I got there initially.
