One option is Tarsnap (http://www.tarsnap.com/ http://www.tarsnap.com/), which is developed by HN's cperciva (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=cperciva http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=cperciva). It's specifically written to be secure online backup.
Another option is using Dropbox, but with some kind of encryption. I know that some people use Dropbox to store TrueCrypt volumes, and I think it does an okay job with them.
Downsides to both are that you're not likely to be able to access them from a phone. Tarsnap also has no GUI (and requires Cygwin to work on Windows), which may be a consideration.
- cperciva 16y ago[Tarsnap is] specifically written to be secure online backup. Indeed -- which isn't quite the same thing as file sharing. Tarsnap is not designed to have archives uploaded from multiple sources. you're not likely to be able to access them from a phone FWIW, I was told recently that Tarsnap works on Maemo 5 + ARMv7... so it's very likely that Tarsnap can run on at least some phones.
- havoc2005 16y agoI was thinking of using dropbox with a combination of TrueCrypt however, it wouldn't suit the way I was hoping to do this. I'm actually looking into both tarsnap and spideroak right now.
