Check out the UC Backup
service--<http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~ucbackup/>--I've been using
it for several years and have had a good experience. The one
shortfall is that there is not yet a Mac OS X client, but that is
apparently on its way. (You can use the Mac OS 9 client running in
classic to back up data files, but backing up the OS won't work
correctly.) AFAIK, this Mac OS X limitation is true for all the
backup products on the market--no one has yet released a product that
will properly back up the OS portion of Mac OS X, though several
companies have said they will be in the next few months.
Hope this helps,
Ian
