    The thing I like about CrashPlan is the indefinite retention of deleted files, but they handled the forced move from Home to Small Biz really poorly.

    I dropped Crashplan, went to tarsnap. Didn't want the small biz plan.

    I use SOS online backup and it’s really fast. I actually had to download my data once after 2 TB HD crashed and I didn’t have an on-site backup.

    I think they raised their prices but they seem to have grandfathered me.

    Between dissertation materials and music, I have 5TB of data, so by default I go with services they offer unlimited backup.

    I've decided it's much better to back up movies and music to rotating thumb drives kept off-site, and only back up photos and important documents.

    Movies and music change less frequently, and once written are read-only.
