Every machine we have has local backup in the form of a sizable external USB drive. Some also backup to a network drive. Windows and Mac. With dozens of machines it is hard to justify paying for remote backup. Although, every time I say or think this I also think: fire, theft, earthquake. I wish there were a reasonably priced multi-machine remote backup service at an affordable price with storage measured in terabytes. One hundred gigs doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

There is Backblaze[1]. Unlimited backup at $50/year/computer.

My wife recently started using this. She wanted to have another source backing up her photography (being a photographer and all...), and this was highly recommended by all her friends with expensive cameras and even more expensive lenses.
I was shocked, mostly because the price was fairly inexpensive, and her lot love to spend lots of money on small things.
I take pictures with my iPhone. =/
Like was suggested earlier, Crashplan. It can do both local and remote backup, and remote backup to multiple locations if you know other people who also run it and have free space for you to use. Home plan is multi-machine unlimited; however, in practice, I only use about 800GB or so.

I checked out CrashPlan+ and it looks good, except that I am having trouble finding their definition of "personal data". It says that CrashPlan+ is licensed for "personal data" but I am not sure what this means.
