I'm looking for an online backup solution for my Ubuntu server. Unfourtunatly it looks like both mozy and backblaze do not have a linux client?

CrashPlan is my advice. It has many backup options. It lets you do backup to a folder, another network computer, a friend's computer or to CrashPlan's own backup server. Just find a friend with enough hard drive space and you can get your files out of the house for free. It's also very easy to set up.

"UbuntuOne is also something to check out.

Ubuntu One is a storage application and service operated by Canonical Ltd and currently in public beta.
The Ubuntu One service is similar to services such as ZumoDrive, Dropbox, Box.net, Mozy, Wuala, Humyo and Live Mesh. Its client code is implemented in Python. It uses Twisted for its low-level networking, and Protocol Buffers for protocol description. What sets Ubuntu One apart from the other similar service providers is the integration with other services: Evolution for contacts, Tomboy for notes.
Canonical has been criticized for abuse of the Ubuntu trademark for commercial exploitation, and for launching a proprietary service."

Have a look at CloudBerry Backup for Linux. You just need to have your cloud storage account (I went for Amazon S3, but they support Azure too) to start your automated backup. If you schedule it, it will back up your photos automatically. The price is indeed good. You pay some pennies for GBs of data and pay once for a CloudBerry life-long license.

"Here's a link to a similar question I posted on ServerFault:

Basically, you can use duplicity in a script to automatically (and securely) backup your files to Amazon's S3 service."
