I really don't know what subforum to put this thread in. I couldn't find any subforums where it really seemed to fit; this was the closest, and I didn't see any threads on the topic.
I'm thinking of signing up with an online backup service, because I have a lot of photos and videos of my kids (ages 2 and 5) that are irreplaceable. I currently use an external hard drive to protect against HDD failure in my laptop and/or laptop theft. But in case of burglary or house fire, I've realized, I'm no better off with the external HDD than with nothing. So I was looking at some sort of online document backup. I've got about 60 GB so far of photos and videos; I expect that to slowly but steadily grow.
What online backup service, if any, do people use? Any you'd recommend avoiding? Any in particular you'd endorse, and why?

I'm leaning towards finding an online solution as well for the same reason, family pictures etc, I've got around 70Gb worth that'd take a while to upload.
I have not ever used online backup before but here is a quick run down I looked at.
