Cool. That looks good actually and I think I'd be able
to swing an open source developer's discount too given
the nature of the projects.

All of the projects are in co-located hosting already,
it's just that the allocated backup space isn't enough
to make a reasonable effort at archiving backups. The
issue with my ADSL upload speed was that backing up to
an always on machine would be fine, assuming that the
electricity bill works out cheaper than online backup
hosting and I don't max out my bandwidth allowance,
but restoring a few GB of data on a consumer ADSL
upload speed would be dreadful.

Thanks, I'll take a good look at that one, I didn't
see it before.
