Recommendation - Online Backup Hosted in Canada
I would like to request advice on an online backup service such that the backups themselves are hosted in Canada, and are not subject to US law or are exported at any time. I have checked a lot of online reviews, and they are effectively useless.
I also plan to encrypt all of my data in advance (ie: AES256 + proprietary + additional independent keys), so even if the backup company screws up, I should still be fine. I also need to be able to upload 5GB files individually. Finally, I am looking for a service that allows me to manually handle the uploading to the server. I do not want, under any circumstances, a simple agent application that does the syncing for me. I would like to handle everything manually, even if it involves manually FTP'ing the files.
Thank you all in advance for your time and assistance!

I can offer you to buy hosting space somewhere outside the US and use command line to ftp the encrypted files. just make sure the hosting have backup service.

I will be encrypting heavily via TrueCrypt, so my key concern is just having a good cloud/storage solution. Looks like I can't trust the backup companies either. So, in order to have offsite backup, it looks like I must rely on myself to handle all encryption. Thank you!

Also, for anyone that uses TrueCrypt, remember: ALWAYS backup your volume header!
