[Klug-general] offsite backup recommendations?

[Chris Jeffries]

Hi
I have used rsync.net for a good number of years. They aren't UK based and
bill in dollars, but they do have European locations.
Pricing can be found at http://www.rsync.net/pricing.html. They were
incredibly competitive when I started using them maybe 7 or 8 years ago,
but maybe there are other options now that are cheaper?
Always been excellent for support and interaction.
