Online data backup recommendations ?

More and more I am realizing you can't be too cautious when it comes to backing up data.  Several new clients have come to me with failed hard drives / lost data...

Anyone have recommendations about online backup services?  There's so many and prices are all over the place.

Thanks!

You might want to look over http://www.datapreserve.com/ - $15/month for 2 GB compressed.  Online backups generally are only good for critical data, such as accouting information and important databases.

I think you may have seen it already, but if not, you might want to check on my backup comment that grew into a web page.

Thanks.  I've read parts of that page - very informative.. And the other pages & links to Microsoft, etc.... but boil it down if you can - mind if I ask what do you 'typically' do for data backup for clients and what you charge?  Do you do ongoing test restores? How often?  How much do you attempt to restore?  

thanks!

You can check Veritas Desktop / Laptop Backup Options. This is really good. Tivoli Data protection is also good. You can check both of these.
