Just be aware of the time it'll take to upload 60gb of data 
Would probably be easier to just store one of your external HDDs at another family member's house and back up once every month or so.

Disk rotation for the win!
Thats what I do, although I've got a little lapsed recently

Can you not just get some auto time-machine software?

there is a website called carbonite
Carbonite wants to install a small, nonintrusive program that scans for changes to files. Not keen on that and I bet it doesn't play nicely with linux.
I've used dropbox occasionally, (very) simple interface and 2gb is free. I believe it's based on rsync, though I may well be wrong there. It offers 50gb for $10 or 100gb for $20 per month.
Alternatively leaving hard drives dotted around works well. I've got a flash drive at a friends with my work documents on, but haven't organised offsite backup for anything else.
