Hi John
We use Depositit with great success:
http://digbig.com/4bmwk
Once you've signed up you download software which you can load it onto as many machines as you like.
You then set up 'Definitions' on each machine, and they will then login and upload a backup hourly/daily/weekly/monthly automatically.
The good thing is that the backup is only incremental, and so only those files that have changed are uploaded, so it's fast. The software runs in the background, so you don't even know it's happening.
The other great thing is that you can then login (using the software) from anywhere, and download specific files from the backup.
Costs are reasonable too: GBP60 for a year for 500MB, GBP120 for 4000MB (4GB) (uncompressed).
Follow the link above and have a look at the PDF document 'Quick Tour' on the right of the homepage.
The people at Depositit are very nice too, and they were recently chosen by Which? as the service of choice in a Computing Which? review of online backup services.
We very rarely choose services to resell, but we are a reseller/afilliate of Depositit's, purely because it's a great system that we use every day.
Hope that helps
William
