Lots of inexpensive services in that link, or just use Amazon S3 with an S3 client like DragonDisk.

Thanks for the suggestion - I signed up for the S3 account and use a freeware option - always sync, which I was already using to backup to my server!

Allways sync has S3-compatibility built in!

I have a question about S3 - you have to create a uniquely-identifiable 'bucket' name - so I created one with my.name-photos. Do I need to do that for all ym backup types, or do you create one bucket called my.name and then somehow make sub-folders for photos, my docs, etc?
