Cheapest server backup solution? - GoFuckYourself.com

What's the cheapest server backup solution for some 1,5tb of data? I'm looking around and it seems like like getting a server at soyoustart/ovh and rsyncing to that is going to be most worthwhile. Even FTP backup solutions look more expensive?

What's everyone using on self-managed servers?

Alright I sorted it. I grabbed a second server from SoYouStart/OVH with 2tb of space and setup rsnapshot on it to grab daily from the main server. Seems to be the cheapest way by far to do it as it's costing me roughly $35 a month and i'll have 14 days of snapshots since it hardlinks files that already exist.

Why do you ask question if you already know answer

He asked what others are doing. No one answered. So technically, we still don't have an answer to his original question
