I just spun up a urBackup server and rolled it myself - but that's because
I couldn't find an online service that would actually behave in a way I
wanted for a decent amount of money.   It also helps that I'm backing up
packetflux machines and in-cloud machines, none of which are in the WISP's
datacenter, so I can end up with my own off-site backup that way.

It was rather straightforward to do, ended up using the recommended linux
filesystem which gains the ability to store only the changes between each
backup while ending up with effectively a full disk image of each windows
box which can be easily restored.   The Linux and similar boxes don't do an
image backup, but they do have versioned backups so I can go back to the
filesystem just like it looked on any day that a backup was completed.

It also doesn't need a lot of CPU.   I ended up repurposing a server which
I added a pair of 16TB disks to.

If you have a way to do the off-site backup yourself, this isn't a bad
option.
