Jottacloud could be a useful offering, but someone considering the best way to balance many drives on a NAS and worried about spending $1000/year to back it up is probably not going to fit into a single account.
zfs.rent is an interesting model, though quite beta and currently not accepting users. And those prices add up pretty fast. Let's say you want to back up about 4 drives of data. That's $960 a year for the first two years, then $480 a year after. Or if you want any redundancy at all, $1200/$600. You'd probably want to find your own cheaper box to stuff hard drives into, and at that point you're far gone from "cloud".
