If you are subscribed to say Box.net, using Conduit is one possibility.
Making a compressed tar.gz backup with rsync shouldn't take that long--it's the file transfer that will at 150K.
If you cron a daily/weekly unattended overnight backup with rsync over ssh that downloads (sftp -b batch) to your pc, that might be best.
Your backup needs to take into consideration any database back-end. I just use mysqldump to output the entire database to a gzipped file.
Lot's of examples on the net. Google is your friend.
Good Luck.

Well, yes but download to host linode is 1Gig, still your point is well taken.
All things being equal, users of 56K would be facing that 'challenge' anyway. Point well taken?:)
NX is just the X11 layer using a 'novel' new compression technology combined with ssh.
One can use ssh sftp compression during file transfer (ex: -C -o CompressionLevel=9 or store in a ~/.ssh conf) if you need to pull down something to your localhost.
Thanks again!:)
Folks,
Ingredients for tricking out your dial-up:
(Warning: this may be addictive!)
1) For the meager price of $20/month, one can get a www.linode.com VM/VPS account,
2) Install your 'flavor' (Ubuntu, least disk memory consumptive?) of Linux onto your linode,
3) ssh (secure shell) into your account and install KDE, FreeNX, enable the deamons at startup
4) Add user account to your Linux,
5) Add Linux user to NX
6) On your client machine, downloaod from www.nomachine.com a copy of the FREE NX Client, set up.
7) Dial-up your isp,
8) Fire up your NX Client and sign onto your linode account with your Linux username and password.
BaBAM!!
'Thin Client' and the session is presented over a 1G (+) backbone!
We don't need no 'stinkin' broadband!;)
Ok then. Have a good day!

use ssh to download (scp or sftp)
NX supports remote audio and printing
Thanks for your reply!
