Haven't read this. Wonder how much of what he learned is broadly applicable vs app-specific.
Basically, this is designed to be How Individuals Store Their Stuff. Forever.
Ambitious, but it's from Brad Fitzpatrick, so it might actually work.
Me = SuperDuper! daily. No offsite backup though.
I actually have very little irreplaceable stuff on my home 'puter. My email is stored on a bunch of disks in a Google server farm. My music is on three disks, counting backup and iPod. Most of my favorite photos are on Flickr. Etc.
Whoa: $5/month unlimited online backup, and enough big-name partners to make it look legit. (Mac client "by end of 2006", sigh)
p2p storage / backup. This is how it should work, not sure if this particular service is the One True Way though.
Cleversafe looks more interesting to me.
No seriously. I think most of the trolls etc saw the word "backup" and fell asleep, keeping discussion quality relatively high.
update: other discussions
Harder to find than you'd think. There's this: Retrospect Desktop Edition; an Express edition apparently comes bundled with some "backup devices" (hard drives?)
Apparently the best plug-and-play RAID solution. Not as expensive as I thought, either.
Update: or, build your own for $500. (wait, that's not RAID)
or: Yellow Machine
They don't mention on their website, but ftp access is available. For $5 a month you can upload as much as you want. My backup solution has arrived! C'mere prince, gimme a kiss! (Ok, there is a catch ... if you ever need to get at those backups, you'll need to shell out a few hundred bucks to actually be able to download them. But that will never happen surely?)

Build your own SATA raid (for $1000 ... seems pricey)
