Now that bitbucket supports git, it's easy to use their service as a free, private, offsite code backup. Just create an empty repo for your project on bitbucket, add it as a remote to your development repo:

username@host:~/project$ git remote add bitbucket git@bitbucket.org:username/project.git

Edit: I had to change in the config file the url value to set the complete https url: https://username@bitbucket.org/username/project.git

and use this post-commit hook to silently and automatically push your changes up after each commit.
