Ask HN: Best way to backup my clients' websites?

[kull]

I run a small web design studio, and even if my clients have some backup systems in place, there were couple of big disaster and lost data.

What is a safe and reasonable cheap way to store those (DB, FTP) backups?

Is AWS a way to go?

What about services like http://www.backupmachine.com/ and https://www.codeguard.com/ ?

My dream is to find some open-source system which I can install on AWS and run as my self-hosted codeguard.com solution.

Any suggestions?

Elkarbackup.org it's a good rsnapshot backup system and it's open source. You can try the kvm image.
