rsync.net is run by the johncompanies guy;   my experiences with 
johncompanies have been excelent, and they've been around for a while.

well, if you are using a lot of space, outsourcing storage is kinda pricy
right now, no matter who you go with.  It's hard to beat the cost per 
gigabyte of a 16 bay supermicro running zfs filled with 1.5TB disks.  but, 
if you don't need that much storage, then yeah, outsourcing usually makes 
sense.
