DreamHost, one of the largest website hosters in the world, just announced that they allow each customer to host 50GB of their backups with an account. Those 50GB will not be accessible via a website, just with FTP or SFTP.
In the August 2008 newsletter, DreamHost describes it as like this:
You CAN use 50GB of your disk space for backups now! The only caveat is, it’s a separate ftp (or sftp) user on a separate server and it can’t serve any web pages. There are also NO BACKUPS kept of THESE backups (they should already BE your backups, not your only copy), and if you go over 50GB, extra space is only 10 cents a GB a month (a.k.a. cheap)!
If you are already a customer with DreamHost, you find that new option under “User” > “Backup User” or by clicking this link.
