Online Backup Services

[spiffwilkie]

Does anyone here have experience with online backup services? I'm looking at using one to backup gigs and gigs and gigs of pictures. I'm leaning toward Nomadesk due to price and the number of PCs I can give it access to, but I'm not entirely convinced.
My wife is a bit leery of having our data "out there" and is going to take a bit of convincing.

I bought an external hard drive to store my pics and personal stuff on.
About 80.00 and I can plug it into any USB drive.
Works the same as saving to your internal hard drive.
I use folders and all.

I do have one that I back everything up to, but I'm still worried.
Not-so-funny story: Back in 2007, I was reformatting my desktop hard drive and reinstalling Windows. I had everything backed up onto my external disk. I wiped the PC internal drive and was in the process of the windows reinstallation when I accidentally bumped the external drive off of the desk and onto the hardwood floor. RIP external disk. I usually have two copies of everything, but in this circumstance I lost about 20 gigabytes of family photos.
So, basically, I'm looking at an online solution to prevent such an issue again (the price of the online backup will be much cheaper than the lawyer I'll need when my wife wants to divorce me because I lost everything on the computer!
