That all depends. Surf the web for colo sites or even real or virtual servers you can rent. I happened to have a spare 1U server that I fitted with an extra 300 GB disk for my backups. I pay 20 EURO's a month for rackspace at a company near my place of work. Maximum data transfer 30G/mo (occasional overdrafts are allowed). Setup of a Linux box with rsnapshot is not that difficult, but that depends on you mostly. Of course you just backup changed files. My system keeps 7 weeks worth of backup snapshots (I can recover files for any day for the last 7 days or any week for the last 7 weeks). Running Linux on your media server is probably a requirement too. Then again if you want real flexibility and power you're mostly stuck with Linux/Unix anyway.
