    A good one is tranxactglobal's backup service costing $0.50 for each 1 GB storage per month, and it's unlimited transfer.

    It's possible. Do it remotely. Or... just pay more for a second harddisk. But for the scenario you are talking about, remote is the best solution. this is because, a hacker can mess up your backups just as easily as he/she mess up your main systems.

    I've tried the Plesk backup utilitity for Plesk 7.
    You can do the backup and restore in after login to Plesk as a domain user.

    But, there's a bug:
    After you restore a domain backup,
    the FTP account always return "disk quota access" error.

    The solution (my ISP fixed for me) is that change the diskspace limit again. (I think the restore logic in the Plesk backup utility does not restore the diskspace settings proerply)

    So, test it thoroughly in your environment.
