i keep important backups on disks that stay in safety deposit box. i also have a server that i use for just backups. i am sure that some 3rd party company may be cheaper but i would be surprised if it was. technically i need next to no bandwidth, nor do i need a high quality box. i have damn near unlimited storage. i do not need to trust some 2nd party or even 3rd party as some may not be actual hosts and just a front company. i just need to trust my hosting company. also have piece of mind that the hosting company does backups of the server too.
i also offer this backup service to all my family and a few friends. they each pay me a few bucks so for me it is damn cheap. though i am sure mozy or whatever has a better interface. i just help set up friends and family with the ftp program, set it to sync up and presto.
