For the stuff you don't want on the internet, encrypt it! I've recently |
| 19 |
started using ccrypt. It takes MUCH less time to encrypt things than it |
| 20 |
does to transmit them over the net to a server - for my ~4.6 Gb backup, |
| 21 |
it takes about 3 minutes to encrypt. Sending it to my backup server then |
| 22 |
takes the best par of an hour (at 10 Mbit/s upload speed). |

I suspect your upload speed is way less, but if you had a few hundred |
| 25 |
megabytes of really special stuff, this route might be useful. |
