Having a mirror image of your source data does not help very much. If the data becomes corrupted or removed, rsync will mirror the exact image (hence deleting/corrupting the data as well). I highly recommend using rdiff-backup which utilizes librsync and ssh, but will keep archive backups of all your data. That's the only way to truly safeguard against data loss (offsite, archive backups, encrypted connections).
And if you want to save huge headaches, use a professional service like ChoiceBackup: www.choicebackup.com
They further encrypt all the data and have a very expensive infrastructure with redundant servers. You get what you pay for...
You can't be serious about your recommendation of ChoiceBackup. The prices are unreasonable. 300$ for storing 2GBs for a year ??? Nearly 800$ for 5GB ???
