Thanks for all the replies, this is my first dip into online backup. I have some redundancy built into my computer. And I have offsite backups but I'm kind of lazy to consistently backup my data offsite.

So I'm thinking of indiscriminately backing up everything online. Well, the conclusion after a few days is that, no you cannot backup everything indiscriminately online. It took me two days just to upload the RAW files from a job to Crashplan and that was a smaller job.

What I'm saying is that Cloud is overrated at the stage until everyone has fiber connection at least. The easy way for me is to buy bigger hard drives, and store everything on them. The 2TB drivers are like $70 each so the costs are minimal.
