Passwords on zip files are easily cracked by your typical clueless script kiddie.
I'm glad you asked about this, because as others have said putting it on Rapidshare
as a zip with a password would have been a really bad idea.
I would also highly suggest NOT putting the backup of your desktop computer on a
porn site server. They are of course big targets for crackers and we talk to people
every week whose servers have been hacked. Maybe, just maybe if you had a really
secure server from Swiftwill with no PHP installed on the box running a very simple
low traffic site, it might not be horrible to put an encrypted backup on there, but in
no case would I EVER put personal data and PHP on the same box, we don't even
put them on the same NETWORK.
As a companion to our Clonebox enterprise server backup and replication, one of
our partner companies is offering an online backup for your Windows desktop which
is free and is currently in beta. If you want to try OrionSync, here's the sign up page
