If you're very sophisticated, I like Tarsnap for online backups. But you have to be very sophisticated to use it.

I think you're overstating this a bit. You have to be comfortable at a UNIX command line. Surely that alone doesn't qualify someone as "very sophisticated"?

Very sophisticated varies on the demographics of the group, For HN no, for the general population yes.
