Instead of going through all this hassle with private clouds just to avoid using a service like Dropbox, I have some shell scripts that use rsync and curl to grab almost everything I want to back up from my hard drive and the internet (rss subscriptions, bookmarks), and generate a tar.7z.gpg file. The 7z archive is AES256 encrypted as well. I feel relatively safe that I could drop this file anywhere I want and it would be useless to anybody without access to my brain or keystrokes, so I just put it in unsecure cloud storage. If I'm wrong about that, then I'm screwed, because all of my finances and identity would be full compromised. Each backup is pretty small since it's mostly text files and a few binaries and images. I have a minimal amount of media files so I don't bother to back up larger things that are mostly replaceable.
