whm offsite backups
I have a VPS server running WHM 11.44.2 with hosting company managing 14 day retention of full bare metal backups. However to restore a specific file I have to create a new VPS, copy across data and then find file etc.
I know I can create a full WHM back of all sites (currently around 30gb) which will give me quicker access but what are your recommended solutions for creating an offsite backup?
I reviewed http://www.rsyncit.com and Amazon S3 (where I don't quite understand the pricing model) and am trying to get the best solutiuon. Idealy I would love a reasonably priced system that back-ups in real time.
Having to restore a file is something that happens 3-4 times a year and is usually related to a WordPress mess up/update.
As both my local WHM back up and the hosting company backups are in the same server farm then having an offsite would be critical if something happens to the server farm.
Thanks.

If it's just Wordpress there are free plugins that backup your sites and databases automatically. Local storage, email, ftp, some even connect to aws. Have you looked at these?
