I'm using the Ubuntu One cloud to do exactly that - and it syncs file in 
the folders I've chosen back to my netbook whenever I'm using that.  I 
also use rsync to backup to a second hard drive from time to time, but 
that does not monitor file changes in real time - it just does a daily 
check and sync.  It's quite easy to write a script to run rsync.

Regards,        Barry.
