I've considered that option too, but I don't like the idea of a friend having my confidential bank records and administration on his PC. The ideal solution to this would be a encrypted peer-to-peer backup system where the encryption takes place on your side and the storage on your friend's side. I've actually thought of writing something like this, it wouldn't be to difficult with the right tools. The incrementality combined with the encryption would be the hardest part. But a colo system is good for many other things and it's a business expense so I'm quite satisfied with my current setup.
