They also offer multiple site backup so you can spread your risk further. Basically we have about 20Gb of active files and the actual day to day diff is quite sensible The big disadvantage is i have no history other than last nights sync so if one one deletes an important file, we are kind of screwed. But we have DVD backups as well we run less often using dar to snapshot the system.
