It's funny you bring that up - I'm on a photography forum and they occasionally 
chat about the issue of backup. It seems the perfect solution to find a trusted, 
like-minded professional and 'swap' off-site backup like this. I wonder if 
there's a program for it; I know you could use a regular backup program and run 
a FTP server for your client to connect to you. Even better, combine the 
technologies of RAID and bit-torrent and make your own 'cloud' with friends, to 
make it resilient with one extra 'parity' copy, and invisible (runs in the 
background)... ah, I can dream!
