I have a gig of space, mostly unused behind an OC3. Someone contact me directly and I'll give you write permissions so you can back up daily or whatever you like. I have a 2TB Linux disk farm on my LAN (3mb DSL to the world) that already periodically backs up my website to local drives so that would be double redundancy.
