Your timing is good. This is almost ready to roll.

Crashplan might be an option for you.
Amazon S3 http://aws.amazon.com/s3/ is bare bones cloud storage but quite cheap. I am using something like 20GB a month or thereabouts and paying $2 a month. However, they don’t give you an app for backup, only the storage. I use linux and duplicity for the app.
Mozy.
Here is a comparison:

Watch the wrap or Google it.. Good luck.
Next question? (LOL)
Sheesh, pay a service company a fee for service, or just do it yourself.
Can you tell us something about your network ecosystem? Do you have a server? If so what operating system does it have? Do you have applications like email (Exchange?) or active databases running? Are you looking just to back up the server or also clients? What operating systems to the clients/desktops have?
Oracle Cloud
Bump - I am looking to replace the backstabbing Carbonite also...
Your ISP might provide space as part of your service.
MS Cloud, SkyDrive, provides varying amounts, including free.
Even though I really have nothing to hide, I wouldn’t trust any 3rd party to have access to my entire hard drives. The potential for monkey business is just too great, IMO.
That’s why I’ve always shied away form O/L backups.
Check out today’s WSJ in which Walter Mossberg compares several options, incluging the newest Google service.
With absolutely no monetary interest, try sugarsync. Cheap, unobtrusive, free trial. My wife’s files were critical to her happiness, and therefor to mine, and now we’re good. You can find reviews online.
If you have been listening to Rush, Hannity et al, you would have heard of a new sponsor http://mozy.com/
Get two hard drives with RAID capability and if your motherboard doesn’t support RAID then buy a RAID adapter card. RAID can be made to copy to both hard drives at the same time so that one of them is essentially a backup.
I’ve been doing online backup for almost 10 years.
I never used Carbonite because it was obvious to me that there were much better online backup services.
I used Mozy until Mozy decided to price itself out of the business several years ago. I then looked at all the alternatives and decided that CrashPlan was the best service and the best deal.
I’ve been using CrashPlan for several years and would highly recommend them.
