I guess I wasn't clear enough, although I thought my GMail hint should 
of hit home.  ;-)

I want to push files (via rsync over ssh, or other comparable means) to 
a remote system in a robust secure datacenter.  A distributed system (a 
bit here, a bit there) would be a plus as that lessens the concern for 
local security.

Also, the reason for desiring remote backup space is because i don't 
have 180GB (or whatever) to "loan" out to get 1/10 back in return. ;-)

Thank you though Robert for the NAS idea, I started down that path 
several months ago and was totally dissatisfied with NAS devices 
(particularly their www interfaces, concerns over their security, and 
the fact that they are local to me)
