For offsite backup I would highly recommend of CrashPlan. It works on Mac, Win, and Linux. It allows for strong private key encryption of all data during backup and on the servers. Recovery of files is easy and since you are downloading it is usually quite fast assuming you have fast internet access. It takes a while (days or even weeks) for the initial backup to complete but once there incrementals happens in the background.
