What online backup solutions work with Linux? [closed]
I'm looking for an online backup solution for my Ubuntu server. Unfourtunatly it looks like both mozy and backblaze do not have a linux client?
The paid version of dropbox does have a linux client, but I would be struggling to fit all my photos on it (Im shooting RAW files) and it starts at double the price of Mozy/Backblaze
What are my options?
CrashPlan is my advice. It has many backup options. It lets you do backup to a folder, another network computer, a friend's computer or to CrashPlan's own backup server. Just find a friend with enough hard drive space and you can get your files out of the house for free. It's also very easy to set up.

UbuntuOne is also something to check out.
Ubuntu One is a storage application and service operated by Canonical Ltd and currently in public beta.
The Ubuntu One service is similar to services such as ZumoDrive, Dropbox, Box.net, Mozy, Wuala, Humyo and Live Mesh. Its client code is implemented in Python. It uses Twisted for its low-level networking, and Protocol Buffers for protocol description. What sets Ubuntu One apart from the other similar service providers is the integration with other services: Evolution for contacts, Tomboy for notes.
Canonical has been criticized for abuse of the Ubuntu trademark for commercial exploitation, and for launching a proprietary service.
Well this is a bit outside of the box but were you to use a web hosting service that grants shell access you could simply rsync and achieve the same result. I do something right along those lines with Bluehost as I get unlimited disk space with them for about seven bucks a month...
