CrashPlan is a cro -platform, off-site backup solution. Basically, their software allows you to schedule remote backu to a separate server. What makes Crashplan different, however, is that the offsite server is a machine you choose. So for i tance, if you have two computers you can set one to back up to the other. But even better, if you have acce to an internet co ected computer at another location (e.g. at work or even a friend's computer), you can i tall CrashPlan on that computer and then use it as a backup option (over the internet). Since the software ru on Windows and Linux as well as OS X, the off-site machine can be ru ing any of these OSes.
CrashPlan comes in two editio : the regular one allows backup once a day for $20 and the Pro version allows "real-time backup + unlimited versioning" for $60. Unfortunately, from what I can determine from their FAQ, it a ears that one lice e only allows you to backup on one direction. So if you want to backup two computers to each other, you must buy two lice es. Nonethele , this looks like an interesting option, particularly given its cro -platform functionality.
