Cloud based backup service

and that is the case, once the initial backup is done, it runs in the background and it very efficient.

I use Carbonite also, but I just got an email from them regarding the new Mac Lion OS. As of yet, Carbonite isn't compatible, although they are working on it. Just a heads up for any Mac users thinking of the upgrade.

Not a fan of cloud based back up. Too slow often, and too small the rest of the time.
I prefer to keep an in house server to back up our data. We have over 10tb of data here, which is a lot for just 2 people. But we do a ton of design work so our customers files are very important to them and us. They know if they lose it, we wont!

I've got an older firewire case with a smaller drive in it I'm thinking of re-purposing with a 500GB drive and using Apple's Time Machine utility to back up. It isn't off-site, but it'll back up everything on my MacBook, and the main reason I use Carbonite is to save my work files. I could get this Mac or a new one up and running in a day or less. Lose the work files, and I'm screwed.
