Thank you for warning about using a shared host (Don Delp). I was planning to use a shared host that advertised 500GB file storage. Based on this warning I read the TOS, they say that the files have to be linked from your website. Now I am looking at S3.
An option that I am considering, but hasn't been mentioned is Jungledisk. It isn't open-source, but is priced very reasonably. The linux version includes both a GUI version and a command line version. I am still setting it up, but basically it allows you to mount your S3 bucket on your filesystem using webDAV then you can use rsync.
