How about also having Alex' Backup Server, and using some shared-secret/whatever tech to ensure that you need to contents of _both_ servers to actually reconstruct the data. This would be a 'Distributed Encrypted Backup Sysyem'. This might make it very hard for anyone to access your data without your knowledge/cooperation. And if you use something like Onion Routers, it might even be quite impossible for some lawenforcement agency to actually find out which one of those encrypted files on the servers contains your backup.
