I've heard good things about Mozy, but I went with Backblaze because they will ship you a hard drive with your data on it in the event of a total loss. I have almost as much data backed up online as sclitheroe, and it would take forever to have to download it all.

I also keep my local backups in a fire safe. It's not 100% protection, but it adds enough extra security to be worth it.
Mozy will do the same - I think via DVD's, but they definitely have a shipped-media option available for recovery.
