It's great that Linode offers the backup system, and for a reasonable price, but I have several Linodes and wanted to be able to restore individual files from different days. Say, for example, if I futzed around with Apache config and ended up rendering it useless, or if I forget the "where" clause in a "delete from".
So we use BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/). It's not as easy to set up as Linode's backup -- it requires some configuration, and securing it takes a little bit of effort -- but it's a great solution. With file pooling and compression, I can store months of backups for multiple Linodes on a single other small Linode instance.
