For the stuff you don't want on the internet, encrypt it!  I've recently
started using ccrypt.  It takes MUCH less time to encrypt things than it
does to transmit them over the net to a server - for my ~4.6 Gb backup,
it takes about 3 minutes to encrypt.  Sending it to my backup server then
takes the best par of an hour (at 10 Mbit/s upload speed).

I suspect your upload speed is way less, but if you had a few hundred
megabytes of really special stuff, this route might be useful.
