I use xfsdump streamed over SSH back to my local disk.
I've got plenty of data allowance available for it and a couple of 2 or
3 TB external disks here for storing the backups.
I can share the scripts with anyone who wants them. They support
ext-style filesystems as well.

Optimise for speed and ease of restoration: back
up everything
I think the constantly-changing files like log files will interact
very badly with BitFolk's backup system and result in the need to
purchase very large amounts of storage. Much as I would enjoy the
increase in sales of storage, I expect this strategy will only be
feasible with the "unlimited backup space" type providers.
Crashplan, etc.
Which service do you use to back up your VPS(es) in this way? Maybe
you could add to the wiki article…
